Need new front tires

Zsteve · 09-10-2010, 10:31 PM

Well my front tires lasted about 5K miles more than my back ones did and Im now in need of new front tires. I replaced my back tires with the stock tires and found a great deal a few months back for 2 stock back tires for $250 for both + shipping. I dont want to use stock front tires and want ones that are quieter than stock and will last a little longer than stock ones. Im also looking to stay as cheap as possible without really affecting its performance. Are there any good quiet fronts tires out there under $200 bucks that will still let me have some fun? Thanks.

I have a touring edition only.

not sure how much the continental DW's run at the moment, have you checked those? it's a fairly inexpensive tire for wat it can do.

Not sure if OP wants to start mix n matching different tires though.. granted same axle but still, not recommended.

You'll be fine mixing tire types as long as they are the same general category (max performance with max performance). I wouldn't put all weather tires on one axle and summers on the other though.

For example, when my front RE-11s wear out, I may replace them with RS-3s until the rears are dead. A new front tire of similar class will always be better than a bald, old tire.

Ok, wasn't aware of this. I'd just always heard it's better to replace all four at once, than have 2 different sets.
