    Default Recommend a replacement for the stock rear tire?

    What would be the best replacement for the stock rear tire for a 2016 RT limited?

    Anything other than the stock Kenda. There are various car tires out there that fit the bill. Search the forum and you'll come up with more threads than you have time to read.

    I went with a General Altimax RT43 215/60R15 and brought my speedometer to within -1 MPH of my GPS. Made a change in my MPG.

    I have to give credit to Ann of Squared for the recommendation of the Altimax a few years ago. I also installed Federal Formoza 165/R55 75V on the front, at her recommendation. There are a lot of good tires out there to pick from however you'll never go wrong with the Altimax and Formoza.

    + 3, it is still number #2 on my " best Spyder list " ..... #1. is the Vredestein Q-5, rear 205/60 or 65 -15 ... front 160/60-15 ..... the Altimax is easier to find ..... good luck .... Mike
