    That is pretty much average for the fronts. I have always used the OEM Kendas on the front since they get pretty good mileage and there aren't many other options.

    Default Choices choices..!!

    I have 20,000 so far and a ways to go so sticking with the stock tires. Many are going to car tires and there seem to be a large selection. Stick with the same size. I'll say no more folks get upset..Arachnid from Vee Rubber are a new spyder tire...happy hunting..!!

    That seems like pretty good mileage off a set of fronts...

    If you got 22,000 miles on them, I see no reason to change...

    I have also got good mileage out of the OEM front tires. 20-23K on all sets so far.

    Recently replaced fronts on the 2011 at 13,000 miles. One tire was showing wear on the edge due to misalignment. Will see how the new set works.

    Using OEM Kenda's again.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
