    Folks have been running the Kumho tire on Spyders for years. You can read for days about the subject, just search on Kumho.

    I have over 6000 miles on a Kumho Tire on a 2013 RT Limited. No problems with Riding in the Rain, good Traction, nominal tire wear so far, very satisfied.

    Really happy now I'm running Kumho tires instead of the Kenda Krap!!
    Already travelled more distance on the Kumho's than the distance that wore the Kendas to the canvas, & the Kumhos still look brand new!! Of course, they are a heavier tire so they don't need quite as much air pressure in them in order to carry the same load or they'll have less traction &/or hydroplane in the wet, so I'm running 16-17 psi up front & 26 psi in the rear. Ride & handling is phenomenal, they stick like **** to a blanket, & they are much smoother & quieter than the Kendas too - and the look like last double or more distance than the Kendas did!!

    Just like fitting the BajaRon Swaybar, my only regret about the change is that I didn't swap to the Kumho's a lot sooner!!
