    Lightbulb Tire Recommendations?

    A friend is needing a new rear tire. We need it put on by Tuesday or Wednesday. Any recommendations on what are the best ones?

    We stock and install the Yokohama S-Drive on the rear of all model Spyders. Great tire and readily available.

    You should be able to get a General Altimax RT43 in 215/60 -15 ... look on-line ( E-bay ) click Free shipping and lowest price ..... If you enter the EXACT tire you want ( see above ) it will save you a lot of search time..... a Michelin Premier AS .... in a 205 size... will be a bit more expensive ..but also a great tire ....

    I put one on my F3T 4,000 Kms ago and the S-Drive is Great. Virtually the same width and diameter, so it won't change your speedo or upset the Nanny.

    Mr search or should I say Advanced Search is your friend here. (Upper R/H corner) Look up and to the right! There are literally thousands of opinions

    and many different brands including the OEM.


    Seriously, let's get on with the more important things here, like where do the better looking older women hang out!

    Last Thursday I had 3 new Kumho tires installed. 155/60/15 fronts and 205/55/15 rear. They are beyond awesome. No drifting in the road groves, stays right on track in twisties, VERY quiet, etc. Hard to believe.
    Bought them from Tire Rack, for around $289 delivered.
    2008 GS SE5 in 2008
    Traded at 43,000 miles for a left over
    2010 RT SM5 in 2011
    Traded at 57,000 for a left over
    2014 RTS SE6 in 2015, which has 35,000 miles
    Oct 19th, 2017, totaled 2014 RT while killing a Javaline
    Dec 12th, 2017 drove a 2017 F3L home. What an awesome machine!

    Never had any breakdown stranded issues.

    All Spyders use the same rear tire size.
