• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Front Tires Thoughts

Anyone running the Federal 595 EVO 165/65R-15 on front. Likes or dislikes?

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.
 
Aren't the Formozas 14's rather then the stock 15's???
Was all considering them

I ran two sets of them and got 30,000 miles out of them. They were okay on handling I'm now running the Federal Formoza and I love them. The handling is great. They are showing no signs of wear with 15,000 miles and I would recommend them. They are available in the stock size. Bought one set on newegg.com and another for a customer on e-bay.

Great tires

Just got my new federal's a couple days ago. I can't believe how great they are. I never realized how important the load carrying capability would be. Here they are in action.

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.

I advise ...get the Formoza's ...... not the Evo's ..... the Evo's are favored by the " Drifter " crowd , because they SLIDE really well :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: ............... Mike :thumbup:

i ordered these had them mounted and balanced and got them home will not fit not even close.
lost half a day at the cost of mounting balancing and the cost of putting old ones back on the rims.

You ordered the wrong size, they should have been the P165/55R-15 which will fit your Spyder.
