What size tyres does the Zero DSR/X take?

It runs 120/70 R19. 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 DSR/X?

Only at 120/70 R19 60V 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 DSR/X tyres

The Zero DSR/X runs one fitment, 120/70 R19 60V. It is staggered: a 120 section at the front and a 170 at the back, so the two can never be swapped across axles and the rear goes first.

Every fitment

Current	DSR/X	19in front, 17in rear	120/70 R19 front, 170/60 R17 rear	60	V	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

Adventure proportions: a 19 inch front on a 3.00 inch rim and a 170/60 rear on a 4.50 inch rim. The front is rated 60, 250kg, and the rear 72, 355kg.

Zero fits Pirelli Scorpion Trail II, which Pirelli makes in these sizes both as a V-rated radial and as a W-rated ZR. Zero's manual gives the sizes alone; Michelin's fitment data for the bike gives V, and that is the rating used here.

No tyres listed against this fitment yet. Product specifications are published from each manufacturer's own data and that work is not finished for 120/70 R19. Match or exceed every figure in the table above and you cannot go far wrong.
