Hello Aishwarya and welcome to the forum. I'm sure all the tire manufacturers have scooter tires in their inventory. Did you try Dunlop?

As to how often you should change them, look at the tread, is it worn down and almost gone? Then it's time to change your tires. For two wheeled safety, tires should be changed before they are worn out, there are members here that may be able to pitch in with the percentage of wear suggestions...

Hi Aishwarya, every automobile's tyre need to be changed in atleast 2 years. In market, various brand tyres available like Avon tyre, Uniroyal tyre, Bridgestone tyre etc. These are the best brand tyre you can try any of them.
