** Front Tires size**
have anyone replaced the front tires with lower / wider tires without having to loose the fenders??
What tire size besides the stock one can I use? I wanna go with a lower tire but loosing the fender is not an option...
Thanks

185/60r14 just fits. No tire rub. Would not be able to go bigger. Just make sure the marker lite wires are on the OUTSIDE of the fender brace.

I wonder what this does to your traction control and other computer settings...a wider tire gives you worse traction in inclement weather, but more traction on dry pavement. However, more traction also means more friction, and this means a decrease in mileage.
Why change the front tire width?

Which brand of tire looks to have the best traction? Seems they last a long time so I'm not worried about the wear factor. Looking to get a set to match a new rear.

I had falken 512 tires on the spyder and they were good. 185/60/14
Sold them to another spyder lover because I put on a bigger tire size. Had to modify fenders and brackets.
