    You are in luck …. the Vredestein Quatrac 5 ….. comes in a few 14" sizes that would be your best option …. currently they have the best performance rating …. if you chose them I would only use a psi of 15lbs. … for best over-all performance ….. Mike

    Plus 1 on the Quatrac 5's. I am running them on my 2015 F3 with great results.

    I am not a fan of the Kenda tires , however to be honest you can get 20 to 25,000 miles on a front set IF you have GOOD alignment ….so if you used 3 sets in 40,000 miles I think you should consider getting a LAZER alignment done ….It is well worth the money ….jmho …. Mike

    We have installed a fair number of Bridgestone Potenza tires on the front of the older Spyders with 14" wheels. Great tire for those bikes. Happy customers.
