Comments & suggestions on Front Tires?
New owner of 2017 Spyder RT Limited with original tires. Have read different posts regarding replacement of front tires. Intrigued by the thought of tire(s) with a stiffer sidewall to help reduce body roll while cornering. Comments and suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Reason: Removed Prefix - this is a 'What should I use?' question not a 'How To: DIY' guide. ;-)

First off, Welcome to the Spyder Forum.
Check out the posts on this Forum.
Currently there are 2 or 3 up running. Check them out.
Front tires are easy to replace. If you can remove your wheels/tires from your Spyder.
You will save a ton of money.
Good Luck .....

If BODY ROLL in corners is what you're trying to fix, you'll be better off getting a BajaRon sway bar or replacement shocks. Auto tires will add traction and give a better 'feel' for the road.
