Congrats..!!

sounds like you've been busy. Lots of posts and threads on tires but you have one of the ones mentioned. See how the rear works for you and the fronts should last you quite a bit more. Mine went 28,000 miles but alignment was not that good but found out a bit late...opcorn:'ing for those pictures...:2thumbs:

I just rolled up 32,000 miles and my front Kendas still look like they're only about 2/3 worn out.

The rear Kumho now has 17,800 miles and the wear bars come up only about half of the tread depth, so it should be good for around 30K miles total, I hope. The Kumho IS considerably easier to lose traction though, especially on wet or gravelly pavement. Just go a little easier on the throttle at the starting line, especially if in a turn.

10,000 miles on the rear shoe? :clap: :thumbup:
We've heard real good reports on the Bridgestone Potenza tire.
So your Best Half is getting tired of the rear chair... I can sense that the infestation will be growing in YOUR garage! :2thumbs: :spyder2::spyder2:

Does she already have her operator's license?

Replaced rear tire on a 2014RTS-SE6

I replaced my (Kenda tire) on the rear of my spyder, it had 5,824 miles, and I replaced it with a General Altimax RT43 ( thanks to Blueknight911 for choosing this tire for me) I have no complaints.

I did post pictures of my new tire, Go to Deanna777's Recent posts, you will see the pictures of my old tire, and my new tire. Deanna

They just started a class for 3 wheels, just Can-Am's not sure?
Yes the wife will be taking the class and getting her license soon.. Then she wants an F3..:yes: Will have to make some room in the garage yes..:clap:

A Class for Trikes should cover any three-wheeled configuration that we can dream up... :thumbup:
Make some room in the garage? Or just build an extension?? :clap:

I broke in my Kumo on the gap roads between Winston-Salem and The Blue Ridge to the Medows of Dan, Va. Most definitely a keeper. Me at 210 lbs rear set at 26 psi handling is great.:cheers:

I've got mine at 28 psi; I'll try dropping it down a bit! :thumbup:
