    I bought a new Kenda Kanine and it arrived today. Spec sheet for tire says "max pressure" is 44 psi but nobody (Kenda or Can Am) can give me a "recommended" pressure to initially set it at. Can Am doesn't even know the new tire exists, and Kenda was no help. (Why am I not surprised). I suppose I'll start at 27 psi like the original tire and work from there. Anyone know what the Maximum pressure on the sidewall is for the original Kenda's that were stock on the RT's? Mine is a 2017 RTS. I may be able to dial in an initial pressure by comparing the max pressure ratings for the original and the Kanine, at least for a starting point.

    P.S. this is for the rear tire, same size as original.

    Thanks! Hank

    If you can show a pic of the sidewall that provides the composition of the tire ie tread layers and fabric etc. some one here may be able to give some accurate info ….. Mike

    For the OEM size Kumho tires, I just ordered one from Amazon. They have 2 different listings for the tires. Both are the same size, speed rating, and the tread pattern looks the same,

    but one of them is listed as an ALL-Season Radial and the other one is listed as a Performance Radial.

    All the specs are not the same but the manufacturer's part numbers are the same. The tread depth is listed as being different, but one is listed metric and the other is listed inch. That could be a typo.

    The weight is a little different. I am not sure if the tires are really different or maybe the same tire manufactured later, earlier or whatever.

    The same price on both tires. I ordered the Performance tire.

    Ok I'll snap a pic or simply post the info later when I look more closely at the tire. It just pisses me off that neither Kenda or Can Am is willing/able to give me this basic piece of information, especially since the new model tire is being specifically marketed as a replacement for the Spyder OEM tire. Probably the word "liability" is involved somewhere.
