I have only 8500 miles on my rear factory POS stock tires (Kenda ) . I want to replace with a better and longer lasting tire brand.
Any recommendations???
Thank you
TIRES TIRES TIRES......
SPYD3R LOVERS is all about helping....
if you do a search on TIRES, rear tires for sure, you'll find a plethora of info....
back in '09, i put a KUMHO AST on the rear of my RS, and subsequently installed 2 more....
when i got my '15 F3, again a KUMHO... but after 24,000 miles of smiles on that, i decided to go to the MICHELIN HYDRO-EDGE which i find to be far superior to the KUMHO.... don't get me wrong, the KUMHO's are light-years ahead of the KENDA's, but the MICH beats it... there are countless tires you can replace the KENDA with, and don't be scared away from a 205 or 215 by 60 tire... my MICH is a 215-60 R15 and it is AWESOME....
LOOK HERE: https://simpletire.com
if you go to DISCOUNT TIRES, they will ask you what application you will be using the tire for, if you tell'm it for a SPYD3R, they may not sell it to you....
whatever you do, do it safely, and enjoy your riding....

I have a 205/55R15 Yokohama S Drive on my F3T and couldn't be happier with it!
That KUMHO ECSTA AST 225/50R15 looks like a direct replacement for my 2013 RSS. Thanks for the tip.

This is ironic......MPotts has searched the forum and found info he needed and thanked the poster, and is told it is an old post. If MPotts had not searched for an old post he would have been told to go search the forum.... (this is not intended as any kind of criticism, Mikey....... I just found it funny )
