Need new Tires for 2015 F3-S - what's everyone running?

[jma57]

I went with KR20 and a Kumho Ecsta, pretty happy so far after ~200 miles of riding.
All three needed very little weight to balance out. My old setup was likely out of balance somewhere because vibrations I experienced before are now gone.
In my case the new tires, brakes, and drive belt adjustment make it feel like new again...almost.
Steering is definitely lighter and I dare say more precise, 16 psi front, 18 psi rear.

It's that time again looking for tires what's everyone running?

Well, I pulled the trigger.

I went to Netzley tire and had them install Hankook Ventrus V4 175/55/15 on the front and Altimax RT 45 225/60/15 on the rear and laser alignment. What a different ride over the stock tires, very smooth and it sticks like glue. For me, I'm so happy with the ride now; it stays where I put it, no drifting in the corners like the understeering of the stock tires. Thank you Derick.

Is Netzley a can Am Spyder dealer? If so, might want to not name them out...

Just replaced the tires , all three on my 2018 F3-T with Vredestein Quatra tracks. Had 48655 miles on the fronts and 14365 on the non Vredestein rear. Normally get 18-22K out of the rear when running Vredesteins. am currently @ 56365 miles. I'm getting laser alignment on my F3 and wife's RT first week of next month. then will be ready to ride and forget about maintenance except oil and filter changes for the year. Love these rides!!!

I'm needing a new rear tire and while I'm at it, going to replace the rear brake pads. Just wanted to check with anyone who has used the Vredestein Quatrac tires to make sure I have the correct size and any opinions or advice. Probably going to order new front tires too.

Dave, if you type “Quatrac” into the search bar, you will find every bit of info you need, plus more, about the Quatrac

Those in the LINK are both the correct sizes ..... However instead of the Quatrac rear tire I got ( from tire rack ) the RIKEN Raptor HR in 215/60-15 IHMO ( it's rating ) is just hair less the Quatrac .... and it's only $ 80.00 ....I have mine for 9000 +mi. and love it. .... So have others here that had tried it .....good luck ..Mike
