The Royal Enfield Bullet 500 (2018–2022 EFI) uses 90/90-19 for the front wheel and 110/80-18 for the rear. Earlier 2013–2017 models used different sizes. Check your owner's manual to confirm the correct size for your model year.
Maintain 20 PSI in the front tyre and 30–32 PSI in the rear for solo riding. If riding with a pillion, increase the rear pressure to 32 PSI. Check pressure when tyres are cold, before riding.
No. The front wheel has a spoke rim design that requires tube-type tyres. Only the rear wheel on 2018+ models accepts tubeless tyres. The front must remain tube-type for safe fitment on the spoke rim.
Replace tyres when tread depth falls below 1.6 mm, when sidewall damage appears, or after five to six years from the manufacture date regardless of mileage. Inspect tyres monthly for cracks, cuts, or uneven wear patterns.
Royal Enfield Bullet 500 tyres typically range from Rs. 2,300 to Rs. 3,000 per tyre, depending on tyre type and compound. Prices vary by brand, fitment position, and whether the tyre is tube-type or tubeless. Check the grid for current pricing.
The OEM rear size is 110/80-18. Upsizing to 120/80-18 may alter handling, ground clearance, and speedometer accuracy. Stick to the OEM size to maintain factory-designed performance and safety characteristics. Consult a tyre specialist before changing sizes.
Tube-type tyres require an inner tube and are used on spoke rims. Tubeless tyres seal directly to the rim, deflate slowly if punctured, and allow easier roadside repairs. The Bullet 500 uses tube-type front and tubeless rear on current models.
Under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance, fuel consumption, and tyre wear. Over-inflated tyres reduce grip and comfort. Maintain 20 PSI front and 30–32 PSI rear for balanced handling, tread life, and fuel efficiency on Indian roads.
Replace tyres if the tread depth is below 1.6 mm, the sidewalls show cracks or bulges, tread wear is uneven, or the tyre is over five years old. Vibration during riding or a visible tyre cord also indicates immediate replacement is needed.
