I ran two sets of them and got 30,000 miles out of them. They were okay on handling I'm now running the Federal Formoza and I love them. The handling is great. They are showing no signs of wear with 15,000 miles and I would recommend them. They are available in the stock size. Bought one set on newegg.com and another for a customer on e-bay.

I am also running the EVO on our RT. I only have 10k on them and they have not shown any wear. They are a much harder compound, but as far as I can tell they haven't taken away from the ryde or the twisties at all.
When I first replaced the Kendras with them it was like ryding on glass it was so much smoother. They still are that way. Very good tire.
Ann,
tried finding the Formosa model, and ran out of patience...
Do you have a link to a site where I can learn a bit about them?
Or beter yet: a place to buy them?
try the HANKOOK..... i LOVE mine.... 20160411_150313 (1).jpg20160411_150121.jpg20160411_154943.jpg

I use Kumho 155/60R15 on the front of my 2014 RTs. I put them on 1 year ago and now have well over 28,000 miles on them. They still look like new, have NO handling issues, and run very smooth. Just my 2 cents.

E-BAY .... free shipping , and nobody asks any questions, very good prices ......... make sure you type in the size or you will be looking thru 10,000 tires ...... Mike
Bob, it is spelled with a Z not an S. That may be why you didn't find them. There is a pair for sale on EBay for $117. When I was looking for tires last fall the Evo was out of stock for 8 weeks and a spyder lover told me about the Formoza. I ordered them from newegg.com but a few months later a customer wanted them and they were listed on newegg as being out of stock from the manufacturer so I found them on eBay. Seems like now the Evo is readily available and the Formoza is scarce.

Try them in the 175 size as they will fit, and as much as you like them now you will be amazed at how much better the 175's are.

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

I was thinking the WalMart price wasn't cheaper than what I got them for on eBay but then I clicked on the link again and they went up $8.- apiece since I ordered mine.

I had them mounted on some F3 rims and put on my 2014 RT. I absolutely love them. They are so smooth that my bike feels better than new. I think part of the reason is because my stock tires may have been way out of balance from the factory. The wet weather handling is great and it appears that they might last a good while. I only have about 3k miles on them, but they look like new. I went with the stock size, and I had to loosen the front fender to install them, so I am glad I didn't go up a size. Ordered them online, and had them mounted at a local tire place for $20 mount and balance each. Probably going to look for that same tire in a 14 for my 2012 RSS when the time comes.
