Arachnid Tires

[SpyRyd]

Anyone found any specs on the new Arachnid tires? Clicked on the pic of the Spyder on the Vee Rubber website and was shown typical motorcycle tires. Searched their website for the VTR-350 tire and got "nothing found". The Canadian dealer website doesn't provide and specs on this tire, nor does the ROLO/Outlaw (SpyderComfort) site. I do understand it is a 3 ply tire vs. 2 ply on the OEM Kenda, but that's all I know about it other than it's manufactured in Thailand "especially" for the Spyder.

Also so would like to hear from any/all Spyder owners running the Arachnid rear tire, especially if you have more than a few thousand miles on it. Just wondering if it will wear any better than the Kenda.

Got 6146 miles on my 14 RT-L and will be needing a new rear tire soon. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Rolo is selling them. Give them a call.

I sent them a note a day or so ago...no answer yet.

I talked with Mike and saw the tires a couple of days ago. It has an aggressive tread and harder rubber as well as beefed up sidewalls BUT they are 2 ply tires. His wife has been running them for a while and says they are great and better than Kenda. I actually saw a car with Kenda tires on it recently too.

No one selling these tires will post any specs on them! Wonder why? Tom

Put one on last Friday just 100 miles on it but the ride seems to be smoother. Hope it lasts longer than 8500 miles.

[Highwayman2013]

I would have tried one but they didn't have them for sale when I needed a tire. A picture of the tread would be nice.

Tried but to dumb to know how. Told to drag and drop but this d--m thing won't let me.

I'm not seeing any specs or even the pics when I click on the link provided. Maybe it's because I'm using my iPad...might have to go to my desktop. Thanks

Have over 2000 miles on my rear Arachnjd, on the 2014 RTL. Doing just fine. Seems good in the rain and last week did great in all the twisties around Johnson City, Tn. To soon to tell about wear, but its better than the Kenda, IMHO.

Just had my local dealer put this tire on that I got from Mike at Spyder Comfort. Yesterday on the way home it was a very bad down poor rain and it handled very well. Today I may another 30 mile trip to get new front tires warrantied by BRP. I am having a problem with major vibrations but the new tires didn't fix the problem

Here is the picture of the Arachnid rear tire from my 2014 RTS.

Are you running Federals up front?

This is a very secret tire. Only information released so far is, they are round, and black.

[Magdave]

I suggest you call Spydercomfort and talk to Mike. He was instrumental in developing the tire and has the specs.

Did someone know what is the tradewear grade of that new tire from Thailand? For the Khumo 225-50/R15 this grade is 440 and for the Falken, it's 400.

Lower the treadwear is, softer is the compound and less millage.

Is this the tire you folks were talking about? I was contemplating putting them on my 2010RT. My front Kendas are at about 25.6K and really need replacement!

I have an Arachnid rear tire with about 1800 miles on it; one side (Right vs Left) is wearing much faster then the other. Not an alignment problem. Just me trying to save a few bucks on a tire that is just as crappy as the Kenda. Lesson learned. Called Rolo, no response. Oh well, new tire next season.

This company produces the same CRAP*Y tire as Kenda ( not just my opinion ) see the post below yours ( one of many many folks here ) .... There are a few really good CAR tires that will work 110% better at less cost .... Mike

Sorry, round and black isn't good enough. It looks too much like a crapenda. Thanks, but no thanks, I'll stick with my General.

Stay away from the Vee Rubber tires. They are junk. If you got 25,000 miles out of your Kendas you're doing good. I'd rather see you go with Kendas on the front than with the Vee Rubber

[trikermutha]

They wear on the outside than even across the tire. I had 8500 miles before I removed the tire, figure I could have gotten another 4 k out of them??

[oldguyinTX]

Guess I can't do basic math. My Arachnid rear tire has about 8,000 miles on it, not 1,800 as stated. I did notice that last Wednesday 8/2 when we had to ride a long didtsnce in the pouring rain, I felt no slippage or hydroplaning. Still gonna buy a new tire though. Really not happy with the uneven wear, and the lack of a response from Rolo about this.
