    Default Wheel/Tire Size?

    I have a 2012 RT which I believe has 14" wheels & tires. I notice the new wheel balancers only fit 15" wheels & tires. Is there any clearance problem with 15" wheels & tires & stock fenders? Any other issues like possible speedometer errors? Just Curious!

    Tom,
    Sorry, this isn't answering your specific question as I don't know the answer, but are you aware that Lamont is looking at a wheel balancer version for 14" wheels?

    In 2013: Can Am went to 15" wheels (and tires) on the Spyders.
    Those 15" WILL fit on your bike; if you decide to change over to them.
    How?
    They changed the tires from a "65" profile, to a "55".
    The lower profile tires fit perfectly under the fenders!

    I thought I saw a post by Lamont saying that they were not going to be able to do the 14" wheels because not enough volume to make it a viable project. Might want to check with him directly or do a search of Lamont's more recent posts.
