    Default 2018 RTL front tires

    I know I am beating a dead horse on the topic but the search feature kinda sucks on the forum. It would be nice if there was a Sticky at the top that had a listing of all the tires and brands that people have used that will work.

    We have a 2018 RTL and I need to start looking for new front tires. What are the brands and sizes that you have found to work vs the stock Kenda tires?

    You can run the 175/55R15 size as well as the

    This is what I am running on my F3 https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...tnum=755TR5QT5

    There are others https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireS...earDiameter=17

    I did try this one on the RT, but liked it better in the 175/55R15 size

    The Vredestein are a much better handling tire.

    I like the Federal Formoza AZ01 in the stock size. They handle great and will last a really long time. I replaced my last set at 50,000 miles.

    I just put Federal Formosas on the front of my 2017 RTS at 24,000 miles. What a difference. Smoother, more relaxing and quieter ride. With the Altimax on the rear, I'm riding easy

    We have installed quite a few sets of Yokohama Avid front tires and run them on our own bikes. Great high quality tires, made in USA.

    Thanks guys!

    I ended up ordering a set of the Vredestein 175/55R-15 tires for for front. Hopefully they last as long as the Altimax tires
