    The reason I am asking is because I purchased this tire and took it down to the canam dealer and they said they could not get it on my rim. Ended up paying 180.00 for another Kendra.

    They lied. Both my RTs have this tire on the rear.

    That's the tire and size I am running so I guess I am the third to call your dealer a liar (misinformed, uneducated, or just plain misleading you at your expense).

    Michael's Power Sports of Reno mounted and balanced the same tire for me----- no balance weights needed. No questions asked.

    To answer one question, yes it was Honda in Winston-Salem and I will be going back to talk to the manager. Thanks to everyone who replied to my question. I do not know if they were just wrong or taking advantage of a senior female.

    Probably the latter. It happens all to often.
    There are hundreds of us on this site that have auto tires on the back of our "s.

    I changed lots of tires. Low profile tires ( aspect ratios of 40 or less) can be real tough with out the extra equipment on the tire machine. A tire technician who can't put a 60 series( aspect ratio) tire on a correct diameter rim is:

    1. lying to you.

    2. ripping you off

    3. doesn't know his job.

    ( all three??)

    As I said before----- hundreds if not thousands of us on this site have auto tires on our 's.

    Scanel, please tell us what the entire tire dimension printed on the sidewall says. If it says "General Altimax RT43 215/60 R 15 94 T M . S" that's the exact tire Steve Lewis at Honda W-S put on my '14 in Feb,2018. The part numbers for the rims are different but I believe that's because BRP has made some cosmetic changes but the size, I believe, is exactly the same.
