Front tire wear

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

I just checked my Altimax RT 43 ( 175/65-15 ) on my 14 RT ..... over 33,000 mi. and they still have decent Tread .... Mike ..... PS this size won't fit without fender bracket mods + a few washers .....

Thanks Mike. Thats some good mileage, might try it when my federals wear out. I have that tire on the rear and I just put on my second one.

Be prepared to MOD the fender brackets and ass some washers .... I found they are the widest 175/65-15 tire ... I bought them from deanna777, who tried them on Her 14 RT-S with the new style fenders ..... I have the OLD style fenders ..... Mike

I am running the General Altimax RT 43 on the rear. I am also on my second one.

On my 2014 RTL, my Kumho Solus 175/65/15 tires just barely fit without any fender clearance problems. No signs of wear at 3,000 miles.

As Peter ( and I ) have said many, many times..... the " tire-charts " will state the Mathematical size .... however the actual size of any tire is going to vary from one manufacturer to another .... My Altimax RT43 is visually larger compared to other brands of the same size ..... Mike
