    Default Which Vredestein tire sizes for 2015 RTS?

    Ive searched the forum and see multiple answers.
    I have a 2015 RTS, just bought new vredestein quatros.
    Front- 165/60/15 and rear 205/50/15 due to recommendations here. Having regrets with that rear tire being too small, should I go with a different size? 205/60 or 215/60?

    Have yet to find a shop near me (Oregon Coast) to mount the tires let alone install them still. I'm thinking I will need to do this myself.

    Thanks in advance!

    The only 50 series Quatrac's I see are both " 195 " width .... you could use the 205/60-15 or a 205/65-15 ..... Most tire shops can mount & spin balance the fronts if you bring the tire and wheel in ..... the rear you'll have to do yourself .... lots of Video's on U-tube ..... Mike

    Ah, thanks. That was miscommunication on my end. I did get the 205/60/15. The can am dealership by me would not mount/spin or touch the tires at all without them being Kenda. I will try a local tire shop.

    Any thoughts on the 60 vs the 65?

    As long as you are satisfied with the narrower tire. You'll be fine with the 60 series.

    This is correct ..... however it's almost meaning-less due to the fact that Spyders have VSS (ie. tracrion control ) .... When I put Toyo 185/50-15's on my RT they provided a hugh boost in traction ... annnnnnnnnnd the Nanny wasn't happy about it. ... Mike
