    I noticed a difference when I am driving. The spyder handles great.

    Planning what to get when the time comes. Only have 8300 miles on our 2013 RTS, so will be a little while yet. When the time comes, I'm seriously considering using Ride On as well.

    If your asking Deanna777 , She's the Queen of DESS not tires .................However what's on the front doesn't effect the speedometer ..... that's determined by the rear tire size...................and the 215/60-15 size seems to be the most accurate .................. Mike

    Default NEW TIRES ON THE FRONT

    Yesterday I had my Kenda front tires replaced with Bridgestone Potenza RE2 by my local tire dealer. Have ridden only about 20 miles on the new tires, but I have already decided they are a way better tire the Kendas. IMHO, get shed of the OEM tires as soon as practical.

    Just sayin'.

    O, by the way, did I mention that the Bridgestones handle better than the OEM?

    They are great tires. We have installed several sets for customers. Unfortunately they do not come in an appropriate 15" size for 2013 and newer spyders.
