 No Problem, We mounted these tires on my brother's 2020RTL, and I have 175/55r15 tires on the front of mine.

Knizar, I noticed you have those Centramatic balancers on your Spyder. Did you balance your tires also? The reason I’m asking is, I just put a set of Kumho 175/55r15 tires like you have on my ‘22 RTL. I had mine balanced and one took 1oz, the other one took 2.25oz. I'm thinking of purchasing a set of the Centramatic balancers. Would I have to remove any weights on my wheels? That size tire on the front are tight. I had to reroute my fender light wiring on the brackets. I had to tap these wiring tabs also. Hopefully they will be ok. I can’t try it just yet, got 18” of snow on ground. Thanx Rhino

A small amount of weight is not an issue - if they were spun balanced, then they are balanced. The centramatics aren't going to improve that. However, it's your Money, but there is no such thing as MORE balanced than balanced. ..... JMHO .... Mike

) The larger Kumho tires seem to have a bit wider footprint which makes for very close tolerance, but after over 7K miles I have had No issues. By adding the centramatic balancers will move the tire & rim out away from the fender mounting bracket about 1/16"(which is a Good Thing). I replace my own tires so no need for tire shop and the balancers can be moved from bike to bike. Have them on all three corners....Good Luck
