FRONT TIRE ON 2014 LIMITED

[Bob Denman]

We already know the hydroplaining tendancies of the rear tire... :shocked:
Do you think that adding more width up front, might start to see bikes starting to "Float up front" as well? :yikes:

:hun:......JC, what tire ( 185 / 55 -15 ) did you use on your test...............All 185 / 55 tires are not exactly alike ( in size ) due to variances in the shape of the MOLD and what the sidewalls are made of and the number of PLY's ......................Mikeguyver :thumbup:

I was thinking the same thing. It was a Yokohama that the local Discount Tire had in stock. A V speed rated tire, AVID S3 something or other, I should have written it down. I could not bolt on the wheel, it hit the inside shield and the edges of the fender, the tire being wider than the fender, it appeared it would have stuck out past the fender if I had been able to bolt it on but could not be sure.

:dontknow:.........JC, now that I'm back from SPYDERQUEST , I'm going to see how / if my Toyo fits on Dee's RT ( she has the new style fenders ).....I'll keep everyone posted on this ................Mikeguyver :thumbup:

The 185/50-15 would have no trouble with the vertical clearance; it'll be interesting to see what happens with the sides...

I have 13000 on front federals now. They handle better than Oem tires ride better and show no wear
