This is the same as I run on my 2019 RT. I have about 20,000 miles on my rear now and just received an other General to replace it. I have used these tires on my 2015 RT and now my 2019.

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.

175/55R-15 Vredestein Quatrac SL on the front first of the week
2020 F3Ltd, Rabbit (Sydney) sway bar.
Third set of Kendas fitted yesterday, early because of a long three week ryde coming up.
Mixed riding, vigorous 75%, local and freeway 25%.
Fronts 17PSI and over 30k Km between changes.
Rear 22-24 PSi with 20k km between changes.
For two-up ryding the rear tyre is adjusted higher to Spyder manual specs.
Very happy.
Update: Following a few long overnighters and 6742km Black Dog ride my rear is now down to 20PSI with the fronts on 17PSI. Kendas are serving me well with grip and acceptable life, not less than shown above.

Spyder: 2014 RTL
Type of Riding: Mostly day rides up to 350 miles & running local errands. Not terribly aggressive.
Suspension: RonBar, Laser Alignment
Front Tires: Kenda OEM 165/55/15, set to 20 PSI
Rear Tire: Yokohama Avid Envigor 205/65/15, set to 26 PSI
Current Mileage: rear 9400 miles. Middle is done. Fronts still have some life left at 18K
Comments: Changing front and rear at 18031 with Hankooks -- Kenergy S Touring on the rear -- Ventus V4 ES on the front.
EDIT/extra comment: I figure the poor mileage on the Yokohama was due to the higher pressure I ran. The edges still looked new while the middle was worn to the bars. Going to run these Hankooks at a lower pressure to see what happens.
Here are the Hankooks.

NO OTHER DISCUSSION will be allowed to remain!:lecturef_smilie:

And no matter how hard it is to resist the temptation, ANY other discussion &/or recommendations should be taken elsewhere or conducted via PM! IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE HERE! :banghead:

Spyder: 2016 F3-T
Type of Riding: Mostly solo, Touring and aggressive and/or spirited
Suspension: Baha Ron sway bar, Elka front shocks, Laser Alignment
Front Tires: Vredestein Quatrac 5 175/55 R15 - Set to 18psi
Rear Tire: Yokohama Advan Fleva v701 205/55 R15 - Set to 28psi
Current Mileage: 25,552 as of Saturday
Comments: My OEM rear tire made it to about 12k miles and even though the fronts were fine, I changed them all out. After 13k miles on the setup listed above, the fronts are still in great shape and corner amazingly well. The Yokohama on the rear, however, did not have the traction I hoped and did not hold up well. I'm now on the hunt for a new rear tire.

K20 tires
I just put on a new K20 on my 2017 RTS. I will let all know next year as to how they hold up. So far the rear tire is exceptionally smooth and has great grip.
