    I had them mounted on some F3 rims and put on my 2014 RT. I absolutely love them. They are so smooth that my bike feels better than new. I think part of the reason is because my stock tires may have been way out of balance from the factory. The wet weather handling is great and it appears that they might last a good while. I only have about 3k miles on them, but they look like new. I went with the stock size, and I had to loosen the front fender to install them, so I am glad I didn't go up a size. Ordered them online, and had them mounted at a local tire place for $20 mount and balance each. Probably going to look for that same tire in a 14 for my 2012 RSS when the time comes.

    I'm running the Evo's out front and am very satisfied with them. They wear well and handle just fine. They can be a little skittish if over inflated and cold. I've found they run best if inflated between 18-20 psi cold.

    They were delivered this morning, sure look to wide to fit within the 2014 RTL fenders. I'll mount them Friday to see how they fit.

    That's not the correct size, unless you're trying to do something different.

    I am running Continental Contiprocontact 165/60 R15 on the front tires.

    Changed the Kenda's @ 12,807 miles, I have a 2014RTS-SE6.

    I changed the front tires last year, the spyder handles fine, on dry, wet roads. The tires push the water away, great road contact. No problems with the nanny. Here is a picture of the Continental Contiprocontact : New Front Tires ( Continental) 014.jpg
