Per Blueknight911 and yes he's that good!! Knows his stuff

Vredestein tire sizes from their web site
Someone asked me ( actually a few some ones - lately ) so I'm going to list the Vredestein Tires that will fit the 14 & 15 inch wheels .. in 14 inch for the front _ three I know will fit are 155/65-14 -- 165/60 14 -- 165/65-14 … these two I'm pretty sure will work also 175/65-14 & 185/55-14 ...depending on type of fenders you have …….. For 15in fronts 145/65-15 -- 155/60-15 __ 165/60-15__165/65-15 __& 175/55-15 ………. for the rear 205/65-15 __ 205/60-15 __ 215/65-15 …….. This info is from VREDESTEIN TIRE CO. ….. if they are made by Vredestein they can be found somewhere …….. These tires are the " Quatrac 5 " model ….. I think Vredestein makes one of if not the best Spyder tire today..... other models may have similar performance characteristics but I won't comment on them...… Happy & safe motoring …..

Thanks for re-posting this info …. I did it a few months ago also ….. Folks should Google Vredestein tire co - History …. I think it's impressive …… Vredestein specializes in the European market, so they aren't widely available … I know the TireRack sells a lot of them …. and they may go the way of " DISCOUNT TIRE " - they have refused to sell the Kuhmo Ecsta to Spyder owners ….. so PLEASE don't tell anyone it's for a SPYDER ….. Mike …..PS I'm glad you are pleased with my choice …. Mike

There is a place in Quebec that sells them Quattro tires .ca,but shipping is free for four but $ 35 for one .Ends up $ 180 for one with shipping and tax.

Arachnid tires with the sole reinforce these a good replacement for Kenda which are of poor quality.

I certainly agree with Blueknight911 on this....I went the Arachnid route, and they, were, crap.....Bruce

Here in Canada we do not have a lot of tire brands like in the USA.

I bought my used Spyder RT Limited of about 9000 kilos, and the rear tire was used in the center it was over inflated, I did install an Arachnid to finish using the 2 Kenda that I have on the front .
I have 4000 kilos to ride with and go.

Watch out for wet weather....I had that combination 2 years ago, and in a rainstorm almost got thrown off with the back and forth swinging during hydroplaning.

Thank you, I never go out with my spyder rt in the rain, I had a GoldWing 1800 for 10 years, once I hit a rain storm.
I'm doing a little trip of a day, I had a terrible motorcycle accident, I'm very careful.

Good information.

[stmike 1800]

I have a Altimax ordered ,hope it last longer than the kenda.

[SpyderAnn01]

FlyBoy, the Kenda will wear in the center no matter what pressure you maintain and tge Arachnid will wear on both sides regardless of tire pressure. Both are crappy tires.
