AMEN!

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Yes, but is there truth that possibly a big name company besides Kenda will be supplying official Spyder tires in the near future????????????

Paul, the arrangement BRP has with CRAPENDA ( Kenda ) is so lucrative ( for both actually ) that no other manufacturer could even come close. So imho NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN ............ Mike

[Bob Denman]

We can always hope...

When you are a Spyderlover, you talk about tires. It's what you do.

Depends on how you define "official".

So all the warranty labor, replacing low quality tires is lucrative to both the tire manufacturer and the vehicle manufacturer?

So imho, Kenda is scrared and hopes no other company builds a quality tire, knowing it will kill the replacement sales and oem sales in time for Kenda.

Paul, I don't know how you could have mis-understood what I said ........ but you missed it completely .... Kenda is not " scared " because no other tire maker is going to give BRP free tires just so they force Spyder owner's to be OVER-CHARGED at the Stealership........Mike

[Bob Denman]

Perhaps it's VEE...

[Bob Denman]

I'm just thinking that to VEE: they ARE a major manufacturer...

...Never mind what anybody else thinks!

My picture is not showing?

Bob

[Bob Denman]

nope...

[Peter Aawen]

Yep, that's correct Bob, your pic is not showing! I can only see a small blue square with a ? in the middle of it - dunno what others are seeing...... Altho I suspect that the other Bob's post a bit further down might be relevant!

[finless]

nope...

What? How come I can see it. It's a picture stored here too...

Hmmmm... bug in the system?

How about now?

[finless]

I figured it out.... first post please check and let me know you see the picture now?

Yes this is a bug in the SL system.

Bob

[Peter Aawen]

Ah Ha!! Yes, I can see it above & in the OP now!! So what was it you figured out?? What had you done/not done that it didn't show, & what did you do to get it to show??

[robmorg]

Yeah, it's there now. That happens when you upload a picture as an "attachment" then, for various reasons, the attachment doesn't get linked to the message. Never happens when you insert a picture from a URL.

PS... It was worth waiting for.

[robmorg]

Sorry I was not wearing my aluminm foil hat and did not understand how much you read into these things. I'll wait and see how accurate the info is that a major motorcycle tire manufacturer will be releasing Spyder tires soon.

Paul, I thought you were joking when you posted that message, which is why I responded with a .

Even if BRP does find another tire vendor, chances are great that the tire would be way overpriced and not as good as what you can find elsewhere in the market. There are already lots of good choices out there that are proper tires for the Spyder rims, and offer better handling qualities - "official" or not. The fact that not all dealers will install them, for some silly reason, is the real problem.

Exactly! The forum I run does not have this issue.
It's because SL is on a very old version of Vbulletin....

I've noticed that the attachment management module of the form software is a little buggy. It won't affect most folks, as most users never use that tool. The reason you continued to see the picture, when others could not, is because the picture "attachment link" was already in your browser cache. You probably know that the way to check that is to refresh the page while holding the shift key down (at least in Windows).
