Rear tire queston
Will have to purchase a new rear tire for the upcoming season. Has anyone tried the general altimax RT43 radial tire 215/60R15. Would it do any harm to install this car tire to the spyder?
By the way I ride the 2014 RT Ltd. thanks.

I discovered that tire years ago and have been recommending it here ever since ….. But in all honesty it's not the best spyder tire anymore …. the Vredestein Quatrac 5 , now holds the title. Michelin has re-designed the great " Defender " tire ….. It's now the Defender " T&H " model...…. that's #2. on my list ….. PS If you are putting an Auto tire on the rear of your Spyder ( any brand ) I & Peter Aawen highly recommend using 17-18 psi in it for Best performance ie. traction wet & dry , comfort , and mileage …… good luck ……..

The Altimax is a fine tire and will not harm your RT.

15,000 miles on my Altimax and it still looks and rides great. 90% of my riding is two up and 22 PSI seems to be the sweet spot for me.

I installed the RT43 on my '15 F3-S after I could not find the Michelin Hydroedge anymore. Only have 5,000 miles on it but am really liking it!

Good roll and as others have said the 60 profile gives a little more circumference and puts the speedo within 1 MPH of the GPS at 60 mph. I got 23,500 miles out of the last Kumho Ecsta on my RT, but the General Altimax on the wifes F3T only had 18,500 when I took this picture last July... General18.5.jpg
We ran it for another month and took it off with just under 21,000 miles. We Have a couple more Generals on now with less than 10,000 miles.
We have been satisfied with the wear and ride from both the Kumhos and Generals on the rear..
