    Default Tires

    My front tires were shot on my 2010 RT with 16,500 miles on them. Thought I'd look for some other than the original Kendas. I chose Bridgestone Potenza 165/65-R14 for $75.00 each. Had them mounted and balanced and then added Ride-On. These are advertised as low rolling resistence, high performance tires. Took it for a ride yesterday and am very impressed by the the way they corner, and smooth ride. No cons at all.

    Default Throttle Bodies

    I'd like to thank Can Am for warranting my throttle bodies on my 2010 RT.

    on your choice! We've had other good reports about the Potenzas, and are glad to see that they're still a worthwhile choice!

    when you added ride-on you didn't need to have them balanced before hoped you removed any weights they might of put on ride-on does a dual purpose balances the tires entire life of tire so no need of rotating them and helps against getting a nail or something in the tire,i've had ride-on in my tires for over a year now never had any problems.

    congrads... on the new tires... let us know how they perform/wear.... i'll never buy any more Kenda & surely not a 2 ply Kenda junk for the rear... heck 2 ply tires are for wheelbarrows & lawnmowers.. surely not for vehicles that rides on the highway at 70MPH....

    I knew that about Ride-On as I used it in the old tires. One of the new tires balanced w/o weights and the other took 1/4 ounce.
