2011 RTS Back Tire Question

[Queenduna]

Hello, newbie here. I purchased my Spyder last year after getting my cycle endorsement. I have put on maybe 7000 miles total on the back tire. Not sure how many miles were on it beforehand. My question: I would like to replace the tire with something a little more substantial as it is bald in the middle and needs replaced asap. I am looking at the following: Altimax RT 43 215/60R15? Thanks in advance for the help and advice.

I have been recommending that tire for a couple of years now and it is still one of the best .... regardless of what you may hear, Only put 18 PSI in it and you will have a better performing tire .... Mike

That size will fit any RT ..... The 215/60 is extremely close on the GS an RS models because of the fender .... but putting a small spacer or a couple of washers between the bracket and the fender will give a margin of clearance ..... Mike
