Kumho is the only tire with this problem and not the only one being used nor does it have the best results. I would check into others you can seach them out here and see....:thumbup:

Thanks for the information, I tried eBay no luck at discount but went down list of sellers
ordered from Summit $99.97 and free shipping only con slower shipping.
I sure don't understand Discount Tire on this issue.

They sell tires... they think that they know more about tires, than anyone else. :D
Since the Spyder is a "motorcycle", and everybody know what'll happen to you if you put a car tire on a motorcycle rim; their lawyers have simply advised them to not sell car tires, to lunatics on Spyders... :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

I just installed my second Kumho on my ST this week. I ordered it off ebay maybe a month ago. I paid $79 got free shipping and it shipped directly from discount tire and it only took 3 or 4 days to get it. NO questions asked!

I have had no issues with the Kumho. I think the wet and dry traction are very good. and the price is right. I did only get 14000 miles out of the first one but that was almost double what I got out of the Kenda. But for the price you cant go wrong. IMHO
