    Default New very inexpensive front tires (OEM)

    I decided to convert to Vredestein Q5's after putting about 150 miles on my new 165/55/15 OEM Kenda's.

    For you must have "OEM tire guys" this is a killer deal (2 tires).

    They costed me about $200 (couple of weeks ago). I can sell them for $50 plus shipping. I'll have them taken off my Spyder by 4/14/2021.

    AZCanAm make sure and post the tires in the for Sale By Owner area of the forum when you get them off.

    You need to put on one of the Spyder Facebook pages where they think the Kenda is the ONLY tire that should be put on a Spyder!!!!

    Maybe this guy will buy them:

    Derek Funk . And it’s not capable of doing that if you have changed the behaviour of the bike by fitting rigid wall hard compound tyres designed to cope with 3 or 4 times the weight of a Spyder. But it’s impossible to convince those who think it’s much better to get high mileage out of a tyre .

    .... there are those who believe in BUTT Science .... and those who believe in REAL Science .... Peter and I recommend REAL Science. And Auto tires if properly inflated have proven to give both excellent traction and long wear ..... I have been promoting Auto tires since I joined the Forum in 2012. I bought my first Spyder in 09 and switched to Auto tires after my Kenda's wore out .... Mike

    Can any Auto tire service establishment put on these tires. Will the Can-Am dealer put on Auto tires. Who should you have do this type of work if you can’t do it yourself?

    If you change your tires on a car then you can do the front wheels .... most car tire shops can change your front tires and usually can spin balance, if you bring in your wheels and tires .... the rear is a bit harder to remove but there are lots of video's " how " .... you may even have a dealer that WILL do it , but you have to ask first .... if you switch to Auto tires I and Peter recommend 15 to 17 front and 18 psi rear .... good luck ... PM me for tire models ..... Mike
