Front Tire Question

[Slybird]

Thanks to the helpful advise found on this website, I put Kumho Ecsta AST's on the back end of both my wife's Spyder and mine and are very, very pleased with their performance and wear. Now, when the time comes, in which direction should I go for the front two tires? To be honest, the stock ones that came with the Spyder are wearing extremely well - I've gotten well over 21K on my front tires with tons of tread left. Should I stay with the stock tires or can someone recommend something perhaps even better? Thanks ahead of time for all the input!

Ryde safe, my friends!

20K is good. I have that on my RTS now and they are still looking good. I did have to replace the rear at 13K though.

Thanks for the input. I'm really impressed with the wear on the front tires, but that rear tire - that's another story. :cus: You got almost 2,000 more miles on yours than I did on mine....I barely got 11K out of it. But my Kumho Ecsta AST's are still looking good with almost 11K on them. By the time I get back from Street Vibrations in a couple of weeks I'll have almost, if not more than, 12K on them and they should still be lookin' fine.

Take care, my friend!
