Need tyre recommendation

I purchased my Ather 450X HR in March 2026. So far I’ve had a mixed ownership experience, mostly positive but definitely not fully satisfied.

My main issue is the tyres. It’s so bad. Road grip is not confidence inspiring. Also the rubber feels hard and it is compromising the ride comfort. Yesterday on a wet patch of road during a hard braking scenario to avoid a pothole, the brakes locked up and tyres started skidding and I almost fell. I have Traction Control set to Rain (Max). Still no use. It was a very scary experience. The speed was between 40-45 KMPH with TPMS reading 29F 32R.

I have decided I cannot take that risk anymore. I do not trust the tyres anymore. Can anyone suggest better alternatives to the MRF stock tyres. Price is not a factor. I want the best.

Also I was wondering what’s the widest possible configuration tyre can 450X take without compromising the range and performance. 450X tyres are so puny, thought wider tyres will give more aggressive look and hope it’ll be better with road grip.

Please suggest, thanks in advance.
