20,000 miles and still have OEM front tires

Another good example. Kenda lists the 165/55R15 tire as having an overall diameter of 23" and section width of 7" . For the 165/60R15 Vredestein Quatrac, Tire Rack lists an overall diameter of 22.8" and section width of 6.5". Taking these samples into account, I should have zero clearance issues with the Vredestein. Yet, my past 165/55R15 Quatrac 5's did have a slight rub. I wonder if the specs changed between the prior Quatrac 5 and current Quatrac??

It's more likely to be the 'Where' these dimensions were taken. Could be another location on the tire carcas that is the difference.

We have had ZERO issues installing the Yokohama 175/55R15 on bikes of all years 2014 to current with all 4 fender types. Physical dimensions of different brands in the same nominal size run different.

How about on a 2022 RT S2S ? These tires + mounting would run me $330 locally from a tire vendor buddy. I don't know if I want to take that much of a $$ gamble

Yes, have installed many sets on 2020 to current RT. They fit just fine.

Just my 2 cents worth,
I have 175/55r15 Kumho's on my 2020RTL , they fit very, very, close to inside fender
I have 165/60r15 Continental Cont-Pro on 2021RTL, fit "perfect", ( my next GO TO TIRE!)
