REAR TIRE REPLACEMENT
I am needing to replace my rear tire and I have seen post before with suggestions on this. What is the best tire and did you reinstall the tire on your bike . If you have advice, experience or comments I would appreciate you sharing them with me. Thanks Cagey

Cagey,
A very popular replacement is the Yokohama 205/50/15. I believe that will be my next one.

I have the same size Kuhmo on mine. Balanced and installed by local dealer. Cost was 125.00 and worth it since I do not have a place to work on the bike.
Good luck,

The preferred Yokohama S-Drive is actually the 205/55 - 15 as its a near perfect match to the physical size of the OEM tire as well as a much better construction tire. Great handling, perfect balance, long wear and great traction from a real performance tire. We sell and install quite a few of them.

The best rear tire I have run so far is the Michelin Premier A/S in 205/60R-15 size. Great handling and Fantastic in the rain/wet roads. I have around 14,000 on it and stills looks good and still fantastic in the rain.
I purchased it at Costco and took the wheel into them. They dismounted the old tire and installed new valve stem and tire for $15.00. Since I run Ride-On in my tires I declined balancing.

The first thing you need to know is ....who is going to do the WORK !!! .... If you use a Dealer make sure you know beforehand if the dealer will mount a tire other than a KENDA , because some won't ....... The Michelin Premier is an excellent choice as well as The General Altimax RT 43 in 215/60-15 selling for about $ 80.00 on Amazon & E-bay with free shipping.................Mike

I'M ON MY 5th KUMHO, 3 ON MY RS, AND THE 2nd ON MY F3, AND I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH 'GOOD' ABOUT THIS TIRE... HOWEVER, THESE KUMHO'S ARE GETTING VERY RARE SINCE THEY'VE BEEN DISCONTINUED....
I JUST PURCHASED A MICHILEN HYDROEDGE 215/60R15 AND IT WILL BE REPLACING THE KUMHO OUT BACK....
NOTE: MY WIFE HAS THE MICHILEN HYDROEDGE 215/60R15's ON HER CAMRY, AND THEY ARE SUPERB IN EVERY WAY... NOT TO SAY THAT THE SPYD3R & CAMRY HAVE ANY COMPARISON, BUT IT GIVE ME A BIT OF COMFORT....

23,000 on the Michelin on the rear of our RT, lots of tread left. Many options in the 215/60/15 size and it corrects the speedo error.

Yikes...!!
I think this site has made choosing a tire a real task. If you search you will see...and maybe in time find one. See above and pick at random...
