    tyre threads are good and when i checked with SVC guy, he said that tyre has life and no need to worry.

    please advice attached pics? what is the ideal time to change the rear tyre?

    also, if i need to replace, what are the better options than the stock ones?
    Better to replace the tyres. Other than the stock ones, Revz M is available in the stock size, has a more curved profile then the Revz Y stock.

      Better to change tyre. Also after changing tyre maintain tyre pressure regularly.

          Replace the tyres as soon as possible, damage on the sidewalls of a tyre is a big threat.
          Mrf revz (radial) series tyres have this issue majority of the people have faced cracking of sidewalls.
          You may look out for mrf zapper/masseter series tyres or other brands like ceat zoom, michelin, contigo but you will get them in 140/70 profile.
          I am using the zapper s 140/70 and its performing very good.

          It wont be a easy task would require a lot of modifications, and if the fz drum version's swingarm doesn't have enough space it might be impossible to fit.
          Gixxer also has a rear disk and a drum variant and from the gixxer xbhp forum member's feedback its not possible to retrofit a rear disk on drum version of gixxer so on fz the possibilities are less.

              Ya I know there is space between the wheel and the swingarm but the space may differ on the disc variant, moreover the disc is fitted on the alloy with bolts and the drum variant does not have disc mounting points to fit the disc with bolts may be alloys has to be changed for fitting the disc. The disc variant gets new alloys which are present on fz 25. You will even have to weld on the frame to make a mounting point for the brake fluid.I am not sure but I thing near the right footpeg there is the master cylinder for the rear disc brake and that part looks different.
              Doing all these will cost a lot.
              I was also interested to retrofit the rear disc on my fz but after doing a lot of digging I found it not easy I am just waiting few days , will ask the service center if the job of retrofitting is possible.
              If you can contact the service center I think they would know if the job is possible or not.

              The Pulsar ns 160 has a rear drum brake but its alloy has mounting points for rear disc brake which is not present on our drum variant fz.

                  These are aftermarket brakes , these are not the brakes which are designed for fz and manufactured by yamaha
                  You can easily do these kind of modification job on any bike modification shops you can even add dual front disc brakes on fz just like superbikes , its a machine made of metal you can mod it any way you want but these kind of aftermarket mods are not at all recommended because it is a brake after all and its not recommended to play with brakes which are not specifically made for the fz.
                  I was talking about retrofitting the disc from a fz which has disc brakes manufactured by yamaha specifically for fz only. Its safe to retrofit if its a direct fit only, but in this case you will have to do welding on the frame, drilling on the alloys which will affect the strength of the alloy and may mess up everything.

                    Welding on frame why idont think welding required on frame if we want that oil contenar (i dont know whats called the oil box) we can attach the oil contenar back side foot peg there are space awailable for fitting

                      Well this part is also there on the disc brake variant but they have give fluid reservoir much above it because this place is too near the pillion footrest and by chance the pillion steps on it or hits it by foot the reservoir will break and the brake fluid will leak out and the brakes wont work. You won't find any bike have brake fluid reservoir near pillion footrest.
                      The brake fluid is the most important part of a disc brake because when we brake the brake fluid creates the pressure which in turn pushes the disk pads.

                        No problem we can u a small pace and place the fluid reservoir under the two bar
                        but the problem is the alloy wheel
                        Whats the price of new fzs alloy wheel and disk set ??
                        And the Yamaha service will fit the the disk or i need to buy the Yamaha alloy wheel and disk set from Yamaha service and give it to a local macanic for fitting

                          If you can successfully retrofit the disc brakes do post it in the xbhp forum.

                                Have heard good reviews about the tyres

                                The only con is that they are a bit expensive
