    Well I put a coupla forty miles on them. Dead smooth up to 80, no vibrations. Since the vibration is why I replaced the old tires I consider it a success. As for traction, I was able to lift a front tire at will, or get the back to step out with the stockers. If these have more traction, then good for me. My wife's ryker, sure. I can throw that into a corner hard enough to break both front tires loose and push through the turn, but I've never been traction limited on the spyder.

    I just installed this tire on my wife's f3 wheel. As reported no dots. No tire shop would touch doing it stating their tire machine would not handle the raised center hub, and of course the local CanAm dealership would not do it as I didn't purchase the tire from them, so I changed it myself. Next step is using my Mac P balancer. Will see how much it takes.

    Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people......
    but our benefits don't?

    Interesting about not being able to do it because of the " raised center hub " ..... folks here have reported that they've had the new stile " fixed hub " done at Walmart & Discount tire without any issues about the " hub " ..... glad to hear you were able to " DIY " it yourself ....Mike
