Comments & suggestions on Front Tires?

New owner of 2017 Spyder RT Limited with original tires. Have read different posts regarding replacement of front tires. Intrigued by the thought of tire(s) with a stiffer sidewall to help reduce body roll while cornering. Comments and suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

:coffee: First off, Welcome to the Spyder Forum.
Check out the posts on this Forum.

Currently there are 2 or 3 up running. Check them out.

Front tires are easy to replace. If you can remove your wheels/tires from your Spyder.
You will save a ton of money.

Good Luck .....:thumbup:

Do a search for front tires here in the forum. It'll take you longer to read all the info and comments than it would take you to ride to New York!!!!! :D

If BODY ROLL in corners is what you're trying to fix, you'll be better off getting a BajaRon sway bar or replacement shocks. Auto tires will add traction and give a better 'feel' for the road.

:congrats: & :welcome: .... currently the New model Vredestein tire ( the Quatrac ) is the highest rated tire available .... you can get them now ( even in the current tire shortage ) from tirerack.com ..... 165/60-15 .... if you order on-line or by phone check the " decline veh. info box " ... these are AUTO tires and they might not sell them to you .... for LEGAL reasons ..... even tho the Spyder has AUTO type " J " wheels which match Auto tire " bead " shape ... I could type for Hours explaining this, but it has already been posted here for years ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

The Bluenight is worth listening to in my book, he has this subject hands down, trust me!!!:coffee:
