2020 F3Ltd, Rabbit (Sydney) sway bar.
Third set of Kendas fitted yesterday, early because of a long three week ryde coming up.
Mixed riding, vigorous 75%, local and freeway 25%.
Fronts 17PSI and over 30k Km between changes.
Rear 22-24 PSi with 20k km between changes.
For two-up ryding the rear tyre is adjusted higher to Spyder manual specs.
Very happy.
Update: Following a few long overnighters and 6742km Black Dog ride my rear is now down to 20PSI with the fronts on 17PSI. Kendas are serving me well with grip and acceptable life, not less than shown above.

Reason: olf - of ;-)
Spyder: 2014 RTL Type of Riding: Mostly day rides up to 350 miles & running local errands. Not terribly aggressive. Suspension: RonBar, Laser Alignment Front Tires: Kenda OEM 165/55/15, set to 20 PSI Rear Tire: Yokohama Avid Envigor 205/65/15, set to 26 PSI Current Mileage: rear 9400 miles. Middle is done. Fronts still have some life left at 18K
Comments: Changing front and rear at 18031 with Hankooks -- Kenergy S Touring on the rear -- Ventus V4 ES on the front.
EDIT/extra comment: I figure the poor mileage on the Yokohama was due to the higher pressure I ran. The edges still looked new while the middle was worn to the bars. Going to run these Hankooks at a lower pressure to see what happens.
Here are the Hankooks.

Comments: My OEM rear tire made it to about 12k miles and even though the fronts were fine, I changed them all out. After 13k miles on the setup listed above, the fronts are still in great shape and corner amazingly well. The Yokohama on the rear, however, did not have the traction I hoped and did not hold up well. I'm now on the hunt for a new rear tire.
