My Activa ran for almost 25000 km of the stock tyres and the tyres were visibly worn out.
But before changing them i did some look around for other tyres than the stock ones (MRF Nylogrip Scooter 3.5 10)

The deluxe model in Activa comes fitted with the Zapper tyres, but they are too soft and wears out much earlier. I have this experience with my sister's Pleasure.
I made some inquires with the local dealers for the type of tyres that can be fitted to Activa, someone suggested me use button tyres as they provide better grip and look better than the stock ones.
One of them had newly introduced CEAT Secura Neo 3.5 10. They costed me around Rs. 3500 for the pair plus news tubeless tyre tube for the rear.
Initially due to the new tyre the handling felt little different, noticeably the handle became lighter. After few days of use, i can definitely tell the tyres are better than the stock ones.
Activa has a chronic issue of grip on the turns and on wet roads, it skids unexpectedly. Now the grip is very solid on the turns and on the wet surfaces.
Breaking is solid now. The vehicles does not skid, this gives tremendous confidence over the vehicle.
The mileage has improved around 3-4 km/liter, which is most definite welcome.
Happy ridding :)
