    It's a great Spyder tire. I now have close to 4000 miles on one and it works great, wet or dry. I bought 2 off my local guy for 119 each. I did a milage report on it not long ago. As a bonus, it brings the speedometer into line with the gps speed.

    I was told by my tire dealer that they are discontinued, which is why I bought 2. But there is also a very nice looking Pirelli also available in that size.

    I think it was replaced by the Primacy, that's what I have on mine. Lot's of selection in the 215/60/15 size and the speedo accuracy.

    Also, ACE 1330 or Rotax 996? The new higher HP motors seem to be harder on the ultra soft Kendas.

    Got a email from simple tire after they told me the tire was in stock said tire was out of stock and could not ship. I went to amazon and found one for 85.00 free shipping and no tax.

    That's been my experience exactly. GPS and speedo are never more than 1 MPH off & are often the same.

    Hey, one thing to remember when putting the higher mileage tires on the Spyder...

    In all my motorcycling experiences, when replacing tires I always assess the condition of brake pads to determine if they will last the life of the new tire. If not, I generally replace the pads while having the new tire installed. With higher mileage tires, such as what we are talking about in this thread, you might run through a set or more of brake pads before the tire needs replacing. Keep an eye on those pads!

    I agree. My bake brakes had to be replaced at 9k when I had to replace the tire on the 11 RT.
