I see you found My choice in tires ( and lots of others here lately :clap….. I study tires, and currently this is the best rated tire I have found ….. Mike hyea: …………. A lot of the folks here who have also chosen this tire have used that size

Mike, I'm about to order 4 of these (2 for each 2014 RTL) from TireRack.com and just want to verify the size is correct. Thanks.

Done. They arrive next Tuesday. Then, to find an installer. What's the latest on whether or not to balance them?

Well in the recent past I have mounted quite a few Auto/trk tires on various size rims ….. using the Red Dot next to the valve stem theory, I have only had ONE tire /wheel that didn't balance 100% ( maybe 90% )….. I just received my Balancing device so I will check that tire …. Front wheels/tires on Spyders fit 90% of all the machine oprs. that I know of …. A few might not have the small cone needed for a Spin balancer …. But you can tell if it needs balancing the first time you get above say 60 mph ….. If it isn't balanced you will feel it …. Then get them balanced with some type of balancer ….. or just have the installer balance it while you wait ….. Non KENDA tires are of much higher Quality ….. the tire might balance using the Red Dot method …..jmho …. Mike hyea:

I am running these on the front of my F3s and today I rode over 150 miles in rain and high wind and these tires handle better than any others I have tried. No hint of hydoplaning at all and I was running between 65 and 70 most of the way. I am running them at 16# pressure.

:clap::clap::clap: ......That's great to hear, I was pretty sure everything I read about them as a great wet road tire, would be born out by folks riding in the rain ….. Thanks for sharing …………......Mike hyea:
