I have the same ones and LOVE them.

Make sure you get a laser alignment done though

i mounted mine on April 11, 2016 and now have 24,000 miles of smiles on them and they still look great....
they also handle far superior to the OEM KENDA's....
i figure i still have no less than 30,000 miles of wear left on mine...
keep your PSI up and you can't go wrong.... i set mine at 18PSI.....
good luck, and ride safely....

I just got my Yokohama S Drives. I have to do some slight fender adjustments to make them fit but I heard I won't be disappointed.20180221_160739.jpg

Ryan, prior to altering your fenders, have the tires mounted and see if you can get them to fit under the fenders... i have the 175's, and i still have plenty of room... the 185's aren't that much wider, so i'm thinking you'll be OK...
let us all know the out-come... i may go to the 185's if you don't need to make alterations....
good luck...

Just wondering where those Federal Evo, and why didn't you like them?
I'm looking at purchasing new front tires and I've narrowed it to the Ventus V4 ES, and the federal Evo, the federals are about $30 cheaper but that wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me, Handling is much more important!!!

I recently purchased and installed the Federals and love them. Remember, everyone has a choice. Thats my 2 cents worth anyhow.

This is not a common tire found on this site but has excellent performance numbers ....Vredestein Quatrac 5 .....in 175/55-15 it also comes in 155/60-15 which might be a better size if you have the new style fenders ........Mike

We have EVO's on both bykes F3 Daytona and RT and love them. Very good handling.

Thanks for your response Mike, I'm leaning towards the Evo s, I feel a directional Tire will have better performance but I'm no expert so I'm probably wrong!

A few years back when the Auto tires started to become popular on the Forum, people were asking if Directional tires were important and it piqued my interest. So I did a bunch of reading on it, to find out for myself ... What I learned was the difference was " Infintesimal ", and only under certain circumstances which could occur on a four wheeled vehicle ..... So based on that I always look for tires with better performance ratings. The only advantage was the ability to rotate your tires..... It has been proven that this practice is a waste of time and money because you aren't fixing the wear problem from a BAD alignment which is what causes premature wear in the first place......... And there isn't a real - " right or wrong " here .... it's more a Better - Best - Exceptional thing ...... all round tires will work, un-fortunately some manufacture's have an unusually high number of defective tires ............. good luck .....
