    I had my dealer install Hankook's on the front of my F3-S after my Kendas wore out. I now have over 14,000 miles on them and am very pleased. Virtually no wear at all!

    Thanks for your reply.

    How is the grip and wet weather traction? And what PSI are you running?

    I have them on my 2015 RTL. Have not had them in the rain yet just put them on at the end of last year but as for dry roads a lot better than the OEM Kenda's

    I like the tread pattern; looks like they put a lot of rubber on the road.
    What are you using on the rear ??

    Looks only matter when choosing a Date ……… you can't tell squat by the tread design ( this does not matter with / for MUD tires ) …..jmho …. Mike

    Going to install a Yokohama S Drive that already have on hand for the rear. We prefer direction tread tires, they squeeze the water out of the tread better then regular tires. The yoko and the hankook are directional tires.

    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....
