new tires!!

[rock]

put the bridgestone tires on the front of our can am and was shocked at how much of a change it made in the ride and the handling of our bike..i should have done that a long time ago..thanks to all who suggested those tires..it doesnt even seem like the same bike...much smoother and even the steering is much better..

Bridgestones on the front?

Exactly which Bridgestones and what size did you buy?

I have 2 Bridgestone Potenza RE92 in front. What a difference...

put the potenza re92's, by bridgestone on it...since our rt is a 2010 i put the stock size back on it...165-65-14...it made a dramatic change in the whole bike. the ride is much smoother and it reacts quicker and steers much easier..even my wife couldnt get over the difference in the ride..dont know about pricing in other areas but got them installed , balanced for 113.00 each..i hope to get better wear on them also..we got 31k out of the stock oems..i hope to get at least 10k more from these...

Bridgestone Potensa RE92

I have to agree with everything you say here. My OEM tires have been defective (not round) since I purchased my 2012 RTS Spyder. I had 16K miles on the OEM tires. I tried ride-on, balanced them twice and finally had a laser alignment. I finally wised up and replaced them with Bridgestone Potensa RE92. I had them 'Road Forced Balanced'. Everything you said happened. What a difference.

I started out running with 22 PSI in the Bridgestone Potensa RE92. That pressure seems to be doing the job, but I will watch the wear pattern.
