    Default Another TIre Question...

    The front (stock) tires on my 2016 F3-T have about 13,700 miles on them right now, so I expect to have to replace them fairly soon.

    Last year, I replaced the rear tire with an Altimax. So now I'm looking for recommendations for replacing the fronts - Should they match the rear tire, or would you suggest something else?

    Thanks!

    They do not have to match. Look at your options and get the best tire you can. But most fronts last 20~25k. Are your sure yours are ready to be retired? (No pun intended...)

    Default choices, choices

    Once upon a time there were little to pick from.... but now you can search here or tire stores and find a large assortment of tires being used. I do you have time left as that is low mileage even for the Kenda.

    On our 2016 F3L I'm using Federal Formoza AZ01's in the stock size at 20 psi and the rear is a General Altimax. They work well together.

    I haven't given them a close inspection yet. It's just that I thought I read somewhere that the stock Kenda's usually only last 10-15K. So, I posted my question.
