    Default Question on Vredestein Tires

    I have ordered a set of Vredestein Quatrac 5 fronts for my 2019 F3 base model.
    The original tire (Kenda) size is 165/55/15 and the Quatrac 5 is 165/60/15. Will the new tires (Quatrac 5) be a problem with clearance of the front fenders?
    The original tires clearance seem very tight and I'm worried about putting on a slightly taller tire.


    Thanks
    Arcamguy

    I'm running the Vred Q5 165/60R15's on my 2019 F3s. No issues and they're MUCH nicer than the OEM Kenda's

    Hello, I have been reading your posts on the Vredestein Quatrac 5 165/60/15 tires and how well they work on the Spyder. I live in New Mexico and have found that no one in my area sells them! Have contacted Tire Rack and was told they would not sell them to me to put on a”motorcycle”! Very frustrating! I can get a Continental Contiprocontack in 165/60/15 locally. Your thoughts/suggestions?

    If you order online you do not have to fill in the vehicle the tires are going on.

    ^^^^^^Just what I was thinking, none of their business what you're putting the tires on.

    Thanks for your input! The reason I called them was, they stated it would take 6-10 weeks to get them delivered to me, even when site says “in stock” will order and see if the delivery dates change! Thanks again.
