Just making sure before I order this t**e

[Pampurrs]

I know everyone hates tire threads, but I just want to make sure this is the correct size for the rear of my 2015 RT.

I'm close to 16,000 miles on my Spyder, and the tread on the rear tire is at 4mm. I was hoping to go at least a year on the rear tire, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I've been following many of the tire threads, and have concluded that the General Altimax is the best choice for me.

This is the tire that I found on Amazon. Please let me know this is the correct size before I click on the order button. Please, no arguments about my choice of tire, I just want to verify the size.

Thanks!

While I buy more OEM accessories than most folks; I take exception to the characterization of the Kenda tire as a "best first choice".
My reason: BRP put out the specifications for the tire that they wanted, and Kenda was at best; the low-price bidder.
For all we know; they may have been the only one in the game! :dontknow:
As a manufacturer: they can't put a non-motorcycle tire on a motorcycle (That's what the Feds think that the Spyder is...)

You're right on the money Bob. That holds true with all manufacturers. Lowest price meeting minimum specs wins the prize, plus in the cas of "motorcycles" there is the liability issue as well, so....... Car tires can't be recommended.

Time will tell. I took time recently to discuss Spyder tires with a large tire manufacturer. Seems BRP may be shopping for a new tire supplier. Word is the company already sells a proven car tire that will comply with the rear tire requirements and they are testing fronts. Might be untrue, but seems viable for many reasons.

Hi Pampurrs,

Now back to your question. That is the size I have on and it does make the speedo reading closer to my GPS.

I will share my expeareance with this tire. Up to 14,000 miles it was a great tire, but my wife started to notice tire slippage after that. It now has 17,000 miles on it and even though it looks good I consider it too slippery in mosture to be safe so I will be changing to a different brand before riding season starts.
I will be interested in the expeareance of others running this tire as they get around the 14,000 mile mark.

[Bob Denman]

Even the OEM Kenda starts to give up some grip, once the tread gets a bit "skinny"...
I tired a Falken, and it REALLY lost traction, as it wore down. I think that this is simply what any reasonably wide tire is going to do, when it's stuffed underneath a relatively light vehicle.
Just watch your tread depths, and you should be fine! :thumbup:

I was and am under the impression that M/C tires are of a softer compound for better traction in corners and braking. Harder compounds are much less safe in wet weather also. I am more concerned about the safety and not the mileage I get from tires. If I get anywhere near 10,000 miles on my M/C's or Spyder I am satisfied. After all your tires are what is between you and the pavement. I want the best traction not the mileage. Like everything else in this world, "you buy the ticket and take your chances". Life is simply multiple choices.

Jack

[Bob Denman]

Jack,
You might be right... for the typical motorcycle tire. :shocked: With it's rounded profile and very small contact surface; it's pretty reasonable to assume that they'll soften the compound to gain grip.
As you know; Spyders are unlike other motorcycles, and use a completely different tire design. They corner like a car, and it would seem equally reasonable to assume that their tires would (or should) reflect that similarity.
Regarding tire life:
My OEM Kenda lasted 5,700 miles. I look for a bit more tire-life, and would be pretty happy, if the rear would last 12,000 miles or so. (enough for at least two seasons of riding.)
I remember having to change rear motorcycle tires at 4 to 5 thousand miles... I never liked the down-time. :gaah:

Jack,

I agree and was the first thing we (wife and I) noticed when we switch to a car tire. Our Sypder handled much much better. With the OEM tire in fast curves the rear would skip out and I would have to slow down in order to not make my wife sick.
While in Colorado two years ago ( Owners Event) I had the dealer put on a Kumho car tire and then picked up my wife so we could ride the million dollar hi way and the fist thing she asked me is I had done something to the shocks as it road so much better. I was also able to drive that road a lot faster with out complaint from the wife.

When I owned and rode two wheelers I never would even consider putting a car tire on, but as Bob pointed out our Spyders driving force on the tires is closer to a car then a two wheel motorcycle.

Probably some truth to that. Seems like Bob is having terrible luck with his tires. Perhaps a few less "wheelies" would be the "order of the day". I guess I don't ride hard enough but usually get 10,000 on Spyders or M/C tires. On my Spyders I ride with #30 on the rear and #20 in the front and usually about 4-5 pounds over recommended on the M/C. Not saying this has anything to do with mileage but any tire that is run too low on pressure will suffer low mileage.

I think all this started with the early tires from Kenda and they have since changed the compound and recommended Pressure to make for an improvement. Riding style is probably the biggest factor in tire wear IMO.

Has anyone taken a typical motorcycle tire and a Spyder tire and done a cross section comparison of the beads? I really doubt the Kenda on the Spyder has a typical m/c bead since the rim bead is not a typical m/c rim bead. The Spyder rim bead is not exactly same as a car rim bead. It's close, but not the same. Just because a Kenda is labeled "Motorcycle Use Only" doesn't automatically mean it's suitable for all motorcycles. I'm sure the tire and rim were specifically designed for each other for the Spyder. The FMVSS requires that tires not intended for automobile use be properly identified. Maybe the Kendas should be labeled "Can Am Spyder Use Only" but that may not fit the FMVSS guidelines. :dontknow:

There is pretty good acceptance of the OEM Kendas for the front tires. Typical mileage on them is in the mid 20k range. It's the rear tire that almost everyone disses and wants to replace with an alternative. I haven't read any comments yet on the mileage of the rear tire for 2015 and 2016. The one for 2013 & '14 was softer and mileage was in the order of 6500 to 8000. 2012 and earlier did 10k + but the rubber was changed in 2013, and again in 2015.

I have a 2014RTS-SE6 the mileage on the original Tire ( Kenda) was 5,824 on the rear, then I replaced the tire with the General Altimax RT 43. I went with the General Altimax RT 43 because of the ratings. The current mileage on my spyder is 10,824.

Now I'm at 16,000 miles on the OEM tire and it's still looking pretty good. I've got the new tire picked out and ready to order, plus a local shop lined up to mount it. But this one just doesn't want to give up. Still at 4mm tread depth. I'm thinking this Kenda tire may not be as bad as everyone says it is.

Tomorrow, I'm riding 180 miles to Tombstone and back, so I'll see how it looks afterwards.

I'm still going to the General Altimax RT 43 if this one ever dies. :bbq:

Now I'm at 16,000 miles on the OEM tire and it's still looking pretty good. I've got the new tire picked out and ready to order, plus a local shop lined up to mount it. But this one just doesn't want to give up. Still at 4mm tread depth. I'm thinking this Kenda tire may not be as bad as everyone says it is.

Tomorrow, I'm riding 180 miles to Tombstone and back, so I'll see how it looks afterwards.

I'm still going to the General Altimax RT 43 if this one ever dies. :bbq:

PamPam, You made a good choice going with the General Altimax RT 43 tire. Deanna
