WHAT a difference! Vibration is gone, jumpy front end is gone, but the big surprise is how much better it handles! It no longer wallows into the curves! They must have worked with the tire manufacturer to stiffen the sidewalls...

Kenda Radial MC165/55R-15. I don't remember what it came with, just how visibly out of round they were.
It's a 2014 RT Limited with 500 miles on it.

I am happy to hear your new tires made such a difference! So many times a Spyder that jumps and shakes is "fixed" with a new set of tires. Scary.

That's why we call them CHEAP OEM tires. So many are out of round. You TRY to balance them and they are all over the place. Some of them require enough added weight that you could sink a ship.
I just pulled the stock 15" Kendas on my 2013 ST-S, replaced them with a set of Kumho Solus KH 16s. Night and day. Happy happy. :yes:
