Tired Question

[easysuper]

I have trouble searching all the threads on rear tire replacements , I need to replace the Rear tire on my 2013 RT-S and am NOT going to use an OEM so for those that are in the know and have ACTUALLY replaced with an aftermarket tire I could use your help with Name Brand and size for the Rear Tire . Thanks for your help

Agree..!!

:agree: seems to be the tire of choice among the many going to car tires. There are many but the yokahama also look nice but no word...:thumbup:

I am using a 215/60/15 Michelin Primacy. Works great no nanny problems 4000 miles and minimal wear.

Rear Tire

Go with the Kumho Ecsta AST auto tire. It comes in the exact same size as the Kenda rear tire. You will get 3 to 4 times the mileage out of the Kumho tire vs the Kenda. You can find the Kumho at discounttiredirect.com. I ordered a Kumho from there a few weeks ago and got it for $81 with free shipping. You won't go wrong with the Kumho.

3 to 4 times might be a bit of a stretch. Not my experience at any rate.

Double the miles of the Kenda--

Not an aggessive rider here, but we rode the last Kenda until past slick for 11,000 miles.ray: Last 3,000 miles was iffy. Just ordered another Kumho and should get it on this week with over 18,000 miles and just now getting down to where we were on the Kenda at 8,000 miles. Pleased and going with Kumho #2 at 51,000 miles.
