    Good morning ryker riders. Where can i find ryker rally tires beside the dealership? Are these tires same as car tires?

    Car tires are way superior, go with them.
    Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

    The trick isn't in finding the tires, the trick is in finding a tire shop that can install them.

    Or.....will install them. The fronts are no problem however the rear is more problematic. As for the fronts, take off the wheels, and just about any tire store/shop can dismount, mount and spin balance your new tires for you with no questions asked. As for the rear tire, you may wish to find a friendly spyder dealer who's willing to do the rear wheel removal and dismount/mount and balance for you. There's a bit more involved with the rear tire. If you know a friend who has done their own rear tire removal, you may be better off having them supervise you on just how to do it. Friends help friends.

    That is how I did mind. Step 1, took the fronts to Discount Tire with my Federals in hand. Step 2, friend that had done his rear came over to help with my rear. I had bought these to tools ahead of time.

    Those tools will not work on the Ryker. That wrench is 36mm and the Rykers require a 65mm or 2-1/2 sock.
