    Default Front tires

    2015 RT-S. Looking for front tires I can get locally here in Des Moines. Need to get tired by this weekend and I'd prefer not to put Kendas on again. Trying to find a tire thread but I don't see one.

    for the front tires on a Spyder...................my thought is that the Kenda are really good tires, they wear well and get 20,000 + miles when properly taken care of .

    Rear Tires .............. a complete different story

    Default Little checking.....

    Tons of tire posts here but it would take you longer to read through them than getting tires sent or locally. Check local tire stores in your area by tire size or go to Amazon prime and have them delivered next day. There are so many brands out there now it should not be a problem getting you fitted for the weekend....

    Will you have Hicklin change the tires or a local tire shop?

    That was meant to be a joke.....right ??

    There are about a thousand of them.

    And the stock size is not common so the recommended replacements are often a slightly different size.
