Kenda....😲
I have not had issues with the Kendas. Now I have worked with bike tires for many a year and know the brands out there but can not contribute a favorite cause I have not used any other. I am running a Arachnid and will report my findings when it wears out....Still meaty at 7,000 miles...

My preference for rear tire in order of best to least. All preformed better then the OEM tire by a large margin.
Michelin Premier A/S - overall great handling in dry as well as wet.
Size 205/60R15
Kumho Ecsta ASI - Handled well, but not close to the Michelin
Size 225/50R15
General Altimax RT43 - Handled well up to 11,000 miles, but after that it became increasingly more slippery in wet roads. Others report better results.
Size 225/60R15

Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people......
but our benefits don't?

Deanna777 ,
What does changing the sidewall height from 65 down to 60 do for your speedometer? Have you checked it against a GPS? Just wondering since I need to put new front tires on my RT.
Thanks!

We tried a number of name brand tires before deciding to stock and install the Yokohamas for front and rear. Great tires for the Spyder. Lots of smiling happy customers running them. Louise and I have them on our own bikes.

Fav tires
I've had a number of tires on my Spyder's. I think so far I like the Pirelli Four season/P4 215/60/R15 on the rear and Federal formoza 175/55/15 on the front of my F3. Handling and traction are very good!

put my vredstein on last week did 100+ miles on them. feel real good but i want to test a little in rain, they are supposed to be excellent in rain & snow, have the kumho ast for rear. no vibe on the front & put the lamonster
tire sealent in.

Rear tire
After 17, 500 miles, on my RT, I had to replace my rear tire. I got a Kumho 250/50R15 from the Tire Rack for $100 including shipping. What a great ride I am getting now. No more OEM for me.
