Arachnid Tires

[SpydeyCR]

Some of you may already be familiar with this, but there was a 1/2 page ad in the last Ryder magazine for "Replacement Tires for the Can-Am Spyder" placed by Metalsport, Inc. Their referenced website, https://metalsportwheels.com/product/arachnidtires/, listed them as "Vee Rubber Tires – Arachnid VTR 350". Is anyone familiar with these and whether they are any better than the Kendas and whether they are approved by Can Am?

I had one on the rear, fitted by the Can Am dealership themselves. It was better than the Kenda (bearing in mind that I'd rate the Kenda as the worst tyre I've had on anything), had a stiffer sidewall, and marginally better grip. It was the last MC rated tyre I had on my '17 RTL before going to Nanakangs and that was a huge improvement.

BRP is 110% for Kenda tires .... and NOTHING else - period ..... The Arachnid tire used the KENDA tire specs as their model, so IMHO they are no better than the Kenda's...... buy what makes you happy - I do ( +1, for Vredestein Q-5's )...... Mike

I would never use VEE rubber again. IMO just as bad as the Kenda.
