What size tyres does the Zero DS and DSR take?

It runs 100/90-19. The exact fitment for your machine is on The specifications section of the owner's manual.

Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Zero DS and DSR?

Only at 100/90-19 57H or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.

Zero DS and DSR tyres

The Zero DS and DSR runs one fitment, 100/90-19 57H. It is staggered: a 100 section at the front and a 130 at the back, so the two can never be swapped across axles and the rear goes first.

Every fitment

Generation	Trim	Wheel	Tyre size	Load index	Speed	Construction	Marking	Pressure
Current	DS	19in front, 17in rear	100/90-19 front, 130/80-17 rear	57	H	SL	none	see plate
Current	DSR	19in front, 17in rear	100/90-19 front, 130/80-17 rear	57	H	SL	none	see plate

What you are looking for, drawn. The real one is on the specifications section of the owner's manual, and its figures are the ones that count.

Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the the specifications section of the owner's manual. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.

What changes on this machine

The front is a tall, narrow 100/90-19, which is a trail bike's shape rather than a road bike's, and Zero fitted dual-purpose Pirelli MT-60s at both ends.

The DSR has the bigger motor but not bigger tyres: both versions take 57H at the front, 230kg, and 65H at the rear, 290kg.

From the 2024 model year Zero rebuilt the DS and DSR on the DSR/X's 120/70-19 and 170/60-17 sizes. We have not found a load and speed rating for that generation to our standard, so these figures do not cover it.

No tyres listed against this fitment yet. Product specifications are published from each manufacturer's own data and that work is not finished for 100/90-19. Match or exceed every figure in the table above and you cannot go far wrong.

Including the manufacturer's own published figure. Neither source is standing next to your vehicle, which is why the placard still wins.
