    Some punctuation would make it easier to figure out what you're asking.

    I'm not following this either. If you can't get the Formosa's in the stock size get the EVO's, many here using them. Not sure about the Achilles tires.

    Default Not sure....

    We don't have much on the Achiles tires but many are using the Federal. It all boils down to your choice. Seems they all work well and each have an opinion on which works best for them. If you already ordered a tire I am not sure what the question is or are you looking for approval for your choice...??

    Yokohama has a great tire for the front of your Spyder. Use a top tier tire instead of looking for the cheapest rubber available from third world countries.

    While I completely agree with your point, I don't see a Yokohama tire in a size that seems appropriate. While the Federals, which I admit are not a first rate company, do make tires that are proven to fit and work well. So it seems to me "the proofs in the puddling".
