what are some suggestions for a good rear tire for 2017 RT and best size to get proper diameter tire?
I'm on the second General Altimax. Worked well for me so I bought the second one. Go to the search box and type rear tire. Get ready to read until you starve :popcorn:
I've been recommending the Vredestein Quatrac 5, ( available in 205/60 and 205/65 -15 )and lots of folks here have bought them …. A few years ago I really liked the Altimax ( and still do ) however, tires advance in technology all the time ….. now my first choice is the Q-5 … it is better than the Altimax ….. good luck … Mike :ohyea:
We have sold and installed quite a few of the Yokohama S-Drive tires for the rear. (Now the Yokohama Advan Fleva) Lots of very happy customers with this high quality tire.
Common diameters are OE 225/50R15, slightly larger diameter but narrower 205/60R15, recently mentioned 205/65R15, and the 215/60R15 which is larger and just very slightly narrower. I'm running the 205/60R15 and it does well. You will be very satisfied with any of the common tires mentioned in the threads. Depending on your choices you may run a different brand rear than on the fronts.Quote:

It also has "replace Tire" in the tire, 3 different places in the tire, so it tells you when to replace the tire.

There are many choices in the 215/60R15 size. The General Altimax RT43 is a great choice.
:coffee: Yes, Three good choices for your Spyder rear tire.
I would Not recommend getting a OEM (Kendra).
Good Luck on your Mission.....:thumbup:
Dunlop Direzza DZ102 205/55/15 UTQG 460 AA Tire Rack $114.62. 18,500 on my 2016 RTL and still have perhaps 2K left. Diameter is 23.9” which makes it same diameter as OEM 225/50/15..
