Thanks. Prob going to order two up today. Any idea if the handling changes noticeably from the Kendas?

Weeelll, the Kendas are black round things that keep your Spyder's harware off the road for a few thousand miles; while like most other similar products, the Formozas are tires, ie. carefully created & tested pnuematic devices constructed of various rubber compounds laced with steel & poly thread plies, etc in order to provide a significant degree of grip, ride, handling, & directional control for your Spyder, generally doing so in an exemplary manner for well beyond 10,000 miles. :shocked:

I love the handling on the Formozas. Previously I had run the Federal Evo and they were okay but I said wow the first time out on the Formozas.

Ran the Formoza AZ01 in heavy rain today and they stick like glue, 4000 miles and look like new. 22psi cold and 25.5 hot.
Also want to thank Joe & Ann of Square Away for setting the handle bars straight and the alignment, now turn the same left or right.

Most people don't begin to think about changing tires until there's 4/32nd of tread left on their tires. How far in advance would you buy and store new tires because of an unbelievable price????

 

[almosthere]

out of stock

I called the people at the above link and guess what. Yep OUT OF STOCK. Also I could not see the tire size on their post, did not want to order wrong size.

WELLLLLLL NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT

, If the tires are FRESH and you can verify, I would be willing to store for 2 years ...UNDER PROPER TEMPERATURE conditions , past that it gets iffy unless you wear them out in less than two years ................. Mike :thumbup:

The item# is for the 165/55R15 tire. Their add still shows 40 available. I'm beginning to think the old adage :"too good to be true" may apply here. There was no way to verify these are "fresh" tires.

Correct Size

The tire I got where stamped 1917 which is the 19 week of 2017, I guess that's pretty fresh ?

i ordered a set back in the spring.also altimax for the rear. the originals have about 9600 on them.
looks like they could double that. rear one too. must have got some good ones. hate
to throw them on while so much tread left. being "squaaared awaaay" helps too.

I ordered two a couple of days ago from that link. Didnt think to call. At that time there were 39 available showing. Now it says 34. I did cross reference the part number and the size is correct. They took my money so we'll see if any tires show up lol.

Be sure to follow ( as best you can ) the ideal storage procedures if you are going to keep them TWO yrs before using them ....... Mike :thumbup:

How does these compare to the Federal 595 EVO tire? I had the EVO's on my 2014 RT, and they were great. I loved the tread pattern and they handled great.
