So after searching, have question in regards to the tires in front

[acdcking12]

So I have a 2016 F3-T and I want to replace the front tires.

The stock size tires don't seem to come as a car tire. So someone suggested this size tire. 165/60R15

Is that an issue or perfectly acceptable?

No issue! :thumbup:

Actually the Vredestein Quatrac 5 does come in OEM size ….. It is also my pick as Best Spyder tire currently sold …. I just purchased the 165 /60-15 size ...that will fit perfectly also …. Mike hyea:

ACDC , We put the 165/55 R15 Federal Formoza AZ01's on the wifes 16 F3T at 40,160 miles... the original Kendas rolled OK until then.. But my wife really likes the Federal Formosas.

Of course she always likes new shoes hyea:

We install Yokohama 175/55R15s and they are a perfect fit for all 3 fender types.

Who sells the Quatrac 5 in stock size. Can't find it.

The three sellers that I know folks have purchased from are: Vulcan tire …. Simple tire and ...Tire Rack …. also try on-line at E-bay and Amazon …. or go to the Vredestein Tire website and see who they list tire dealers for their products …. Mike hyea:

Not according to Vredestein. 165 widths available in only in 60/65 aspect ratio's on 15" tires.

And, according to Yokohama's website, they don't even manufacture a 165 width tire ?

What I mean is I bought the Q-5's with a size of 165/60R15. I have a feeling I am going to love them on the F3-T

I also have a pair waiting to be installed. Not too motivated to get the wheels off as of yet

Thanks for the Vredestein Q 5 - LINK ….. according to the WEB site the Q-5 is made in a 215/65-15 size ….. the question is what seller has them …. Mike hyea:

So what size is preferred on the back tire?

I'm running the 175/55R15 Front and 205/60R15 Rear Quatrac 5 and am very happy with their improvement over the Kenda tires. No issues on fit and it takes about half the speedometer error out over the stock tire. Running 16 Front and 18 Rear pressures for the ride comfort mainly. They handle very well in the rain.

Do all of the Spyder models run the same Kendra sized tires?
