What 14" tires are you running on the front?

What tire pressure are you running in these tires?

a very good all weather tire, I have a 2011 RTS and run these 175/65 R14 Goodyear viva 2 front, and a 215/60 R15 general ultra max on the rear, mho speedo and GPS match up exactly.

Just installed on 2011 RSS-what pressure(PSI) are you set at? Thanks

175-65-14 works - will take some extra work mounting !

I really like that profile and thread pattern. I know the stock is a 165, Does the 175 work with no problem?
Thanks everyone for your input.
Also, the bike drives and handles nicely, but there is a little wear in the interior of the right front. I called a dealer about the laser alignment and they said they could do it, but the wear on the interior will still probably happen and that it is common. I told him that I had a 2014 RT that never had an alignment done and it never wore the stock tires like that, and I got approx. 17k on them. They still have thread left, but I switched rims so I bought new tires. What do you think?

I have to loosen the bolts of the fender - back two about 1/2 inch out - to get some more room to align the wheel. Good Luck!

I couldn't be happier than with my new Yokohama tires all the way around 175-65-14 on the front and the 205 on the back. I just replaced the Original Kenda fronts with 9,000 miles on them with a brand new set of Kenda fronts...57 miles and I replaced them with the Yokohama fronts. It's like a different machine and with about 3/8" of clearance they look great too. The back 205 S drive Yokohama is excellent as well. Money and time well spent as I thought it would be.

The Goodyear Potenza would have been my close second choice depending on size. Great tire but short edge life on the 2-3 sets I've had on a car.

I have a set of Generals new Altimax on my Subaru just 7,500 so we will see. So far they are as good as it gets with a slight nod to the Yokohamas I had on previously.

Running 16psi in the fronts (spin balanced) and 18psi in the rear (balanced 3oz EZbeads). Have <$175 invested in the whole shooting match.

Handle well but time/miles will tell. Updates with any pertinent information to come.

Only thing I have found out on the tires is be careful in rain. My back tire doesn't like the rain. Other than that no other problem. I installed a Yokohama S drive on the back of my wife's spyder and it does very well. Recent trip with 7 Spyders and hers was the only one that didn't hydro plain any.
