Michelin HydroEdge Radial Tire - 215/60R15 93T
Where can I purchase this tire at? Went on the Amazon site and ask me to verify the auto first before allowing me to purchase it.

how about a michelin defender
Seeing as how the Hydro edge is discontinued how about the Defender as a replacement??? I got a Defender 215/60/15 but it appears to be much taller then the stock tire at 225/50/15.
My stock tire lasted 7300 mi. I replaced it with a Somomoto 215/60/15. But as I remember the Somo was vary close to the same highth and circumference as the stock 225/50/15.
When I stand the new Michelin Defender beside the original worn out stock tire the defender is a good 1.25 inches taller. Of course the stock tire is worn out and the defender is new and never mounted yet.
Is anybody running the Michelin Defender 215/60/15 at present time yet.
The Somomoto is a 75000 mi. tire. I now have 42000 mi on it Has worked great. Getting worn down, thinking of replacing with the Michelin Defender
My bike is 2014 RT-S

The monitoring pick up sensor is not on the wheel--it's closer to the rim. Thus if all 3 tires have a larger diameter rubber the only error one will see is on the speedo. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

Looks I will need to replace the rear tire on our 2014 RT Limited soon and from what I read here, the Michelin HydroEdge Radial Tire - 215/60R15 93T is the tire of choice.
Has this tire been discontinued? If so, what would be the closest equivalent be?
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

If you search on-line you might be able to find one ....however it will be at least 4 yrs old .... which is not terrible .... but it's getting there ..... Michelin has two tires that might actually be better than the Hydro-Edge ..... the Premier A/S ....and the New Defender T & H .....both are only available in 205/60-15 size but this isn't really an issue .......... both have excellent ratings and I would buy either one ..... Mike ......PS use a psi of 18 and they will preform at their best on any Spyder ................Mike :thumbup:
