I got 22,000 miles on the stock Bridgestones that came on my America. I replaced them this year with Metzler ME880 and Lasertec front (110/80-18). Only have a couple of thousand miles on them, but really like them. I guess it's way early to tell about wear, etc.
I decided to stick with the basic same size as stock. These were used on the Speedy through the 2010 year. America actually changed stock to 110/90-18 in 08-10. I like the thinner front tire look as opposed to the fat ones on the new America.
