Vee Rubber Tyre VRM109R 450-17 Intermediate Tube Type

The Vee Rubber VRM109R is an intermediate-pattern motorcycle tyre in a 4.50-17 sizing, built for tube-type fitment. Its intermediate tread is designed to perform across mixed terrain conditions, making it a practical choice for trail and dual-sport riding where conditions vary.

As a tube-type construction, the VRM109R requires a compatible inner tube and is suited to wheels that are set up accordingly. The 4.50-17 size is a common rear fitment on enduro, trail, and older classic off-road machines.

• Intermediate tread pattern suited to mixed terrain conditions
• Tube-type construction requiring a compatible inner tube
• 4.50-17 sizing — common rear fitment on trail and enduro motorcycles
• Designed for off-road and dual-sport applications

Check tyre pressure before every ride; tube-type tyres can lose pressure gradually and riding on low pressure causes premature wear and handling problems.
Inspect the tyre sidewalls and tread regularly for cuts, cracking, embedded objects or irregular wear.
If the tyre is punctured, replace the inner tube rather than attempting roadside plug repairs in the tread.
Ensure the inner tube is correctly sized and seated during fitment — a pinched or twisted tube is a common cause of blowouts.
Fit using tyre levers carefully to avoid damaging the tube; dust the tube lightly with talcum powder before installation to reduce friction.
Store unused tyres upright in a cool, dark, dry location away from direct sunlight, ozone sources (e.g. electric motors) and petrochemicals.
Monitor tread depth and replace the tyre before the wear indicators are reached; do not run worn tyres off-road where grip is critical.
After fitment, have the wheel balanced where possible to prevent vibration and uneven wear.
