Survey on TIRES

[trikermutha]

I got a email from brp:

Thank you for being part of the Can-Am family. You are invited to participate in this survey because you bought a Can-Am Spyder RT LIMITED. BRP is interested in how you choose your Spyder replacement tires. This is your chance to let us know what we can do to make your Can-Am Spyder experience better.

Participation is completely voluntary, and your answers are treated according to our confidentiality and privacy policy.

This survey will take about 5 minutes of your time.

Thank you.

I got the same one today as well.

[trikermutha]

I took the survey just now..Wondering what is in the future for tires for the Spyder??

[JKMSPYDER]

I got mine the other day. It would be nice if BRP finally would admit that auto tires are better than the Kendas.

[bikerbillone]

If nothing else, it shows that BRP is interested. I got no request but maybe I will get one. What I would like to see is dealers mount the tire of Spyder owner's choice, not sure that will ever happen. If BRP would come off the "Kenda thing', maybe the dealers would be more inclined to follow vehicle owner's choice.

[JayBros]

Got mine today, leveled the barrel and fired a long burst at them about the Crapendas.

How do we get a look at this survey?

[ARtraveler]

If this leads to a replacement of the OEM Kenda's, I am for it. I know now that I will not be going to K9's for any replacements on current Spyders.

[Jheck]

Got mine today and completed the survey. Told them the stock tires were junk, why I replaced them with car tires. And last question. Mentioned that they should get they’re dealer network in order, good dealers are far and few between. And that it was the main reason that I would not be purchasing another Spyder when this one bites the dust.

I didn't get one, IMHO BRP and Kenda parting ways is NOT going to happen. It makes zero sense Financially for them to do so, so I won't hold my breath. Since 2010 the " windshield Arm " has probably had the highest " failure " rate of all the Spyder parts .... How did BRP fix this ....they finally allowed folks to but the ARM separately - the same junky part that they put on the RT's in the first place. All they had to do was to change the Casting mold, ie. stop removing all the material from the arm , which dramatically Weakens that part. .... good luck .... Mike

Didn't receive one as of yet.

They don't have to part ways. Kenda can make a decent tire. They just don't for the Spyder/Ryker. I suspect it has more to do with BRP's specs. than it does with Kenda. But there is no way to know.

[pegasus1300]

I don't care if they part ways. Just stop making a fuss if a dealer mounts something else.

[ThreeWheels]

You and me both !!!

[EdMat]

The only survey I got was for my purchase dealer service department. It was so simple and limited that I feel sure it will be of no actual use.

Would love to get one on the tires if it's more than 4 questions and allows you to make comments.

[MONK]

...I would not be purchasing another Spyder when this one bites the dust.

IMHO, I would NOT mention that you won't purchase another Can Am product. If you tell them you're done w/their product, they have no incentive to make any changes. If/when I get the survey, I'll let them know I'm on my 2nd Spyder. I want them to think that I want to continue to support them.

[STELLING MAN]

I got mine and filled It out yesterday, I gave them a ear full..

Ok well I'll wing it then cause I won't be invited being as I only bought a couple of F3's.Last time I looked they had tyres on them
The whole thing sounds like they are about to gouge Limited owners with BRP dealer fitted tyres that can be obtained and fitted at ''Joes Tyres'' at half the price.
If they really gave a stuff about tyres dealers would be required to perform laser alignments before even being able to even sell the things.That they even come from the factory unaligned is beyond me and a huge safety issue so to disguise this as a ''we're going to ask some of our customers'' because we're so concerned is complete BS.
Twenty minutes spent on a search here would give them all the answers they need about what owners think of their tyres so cut the crap and do something about it.
Give us a tyre that is superior to the car tyres we are using now, have all dealers equipped with the Rolo alignment system and cut the gouging and then you have a reason for us to buy from the dealers.How dumb do they think we are

[trikermutha]

I am sure they read the forums. Just want to see where it goes from here.

Seems they are listening and have made improvements over time. So lets see about the tires.
