What car tire?
Ok so I'm going to get new front tires. Which tire should I get for the front of my rs that doesn't require any modding of the fenders. I have looked at the potenza tire but are there other options or should I say better options from y'all's experiences. Thanks in advance!

Many threads..!!
you could read through the many threads on tires. At this point it seems that as long as the tire size matches they will work. A thread should be started with a list of the brands used. I have seen :Falkens, Yokohama, Kumoho and a few others. I would prefer to keep all three tires the same. Jmho...

You just created a new industry position

I think you may have just created another niche industry special wheel sizes. Now all we need is someone to create a reliable odometer conversion adapter niche market.

Can Front wheels be balanced on standard auto shop equip?
Most shops have the "standard" spin balance machines; does the Can Am front wheels fit on these machines?

Out side of longer tire wear, Do going to Car Tires make the bike handle any better?

I am assuming that the 175 VS the 165 does not affect the computer at all correct. I just ordered the Yokohomas

Yes i had my 14 inch rt wheels balanced at a local tire shop, they can do a dynamic balance or a static balance (static balance requires less weights)

I just called Discount tires in Vegas they can order either bridgestone or Michelin tiires that are the same size for the RT which is 165-65-14. Therefore, no additional work is required.

Best rt rear tire
I heard Michelin has a good 4 ply rear tire that would last much longer than original tire. Has anyone tried Michelin?

i put 20psi in but i may reduce to 18psi at 20 to me seems a bit squirrely,but i may need to adjust my elkas instead i really don't know what the true answer is in this situation.oh i also put ride-on in for protection and balance no weights on rims rides very smoothly.
