    Default front tires on my 2009

    what brand of tires should i put back on the front. i want to put car tires on the front cause my kena tires suck. my second set on front and now the sidewall on one tire is cracking all the way around the tire. what should i do. these are the same tires as what originally came with the bike.

    Default upgrade

    you are wise to upgrade to a car tire.....
    i've been riding all my SPYD3Rs on car tires since 2009 and NEVER had an issue.... i would also suggest you go 1 size up for the fronts, to a 175/55 R14....
    i had KUMHO'S on my RS, and now have Hankook on my F3, and i'm here to tell you, there is a 'marked' improvement over the OEM Kendas....
    sellect a UNI-DIRECTIONAL tire for best performance in wet conditions...
    good luck...

    Default Wow!

    Hecoon, that is great mileage on a set of tires! I'm also looking at updating my front tires on a 2009 GS. I have over 10,000 miles and wear on the inside of each front tire. Looking at an alignment too!

    You really need a LAZER alignment asap.......do this before you get new tires, because once you start a wear pattern the alignment won't be a repair for the damage .........been there learned that lesson ....Mike
