Want to get new front tires, not sure what to get? 2021 RTL

Road conditions vary from road to road ,mile to mile and can be transferred from the road all he way to the handlebars. With Spyders, one has three different road surfaces transferring up into the bike unlike a two wheeler following over the same surface. When a rider go from riding a two wheeler for years, to a three wheeler, well, the ride feeling gets allot different until one gets readjusted.

Thats the same way that I purchase shotguns. Once they are in the safe, I'm free and clear.

~~~going over the replies again, came across yours here shooter, just came into possession of a new RIA VR 80. Haven’t shot it yet. Want to take it down, clean it, lube, before the first shell flys

You bring up an interesting point and I'd like to expand on it .... What you feel thru the handlebars can be very effected by the SURFACE ... TEXTURE .... some folks think there might be something wrong with the suspension because the FEEL changes. .... well this could be because of the road TEXTURE ..... JMHO >>>> Mike

OK, I got my tires - 165/60R-15 VREDESTEIN QUATRAC from the Tire Rack and the date said 36th week of 2022. I removed the tires and took them to Discount tire. They mounted and balanced the new tires for $47 with tax. I am very happy with them, no more vibration after 65mph, had it up to 80mph and still very nice. There is no more tracking all over the road, it's very stable, and there's no pull to the right. This is what the Spyder should operate like when new. Very disappointed in BRP for installing junk tires.

So is pulling to the right the tires or alignment? Mine is pulling to the right when I brake and I assumed alignment and have an appointment in a couple of days for an alignment. Riding on the highway with hands off the handlebars it drifts slowly to the right.

went for another ride yesterday , these tires are awesome.. really amazed at the differance these tires made..... worth every penny and then some..

Careful now with all those miles … you will exceed the 2500 you racked up in the last 2+ years on your old tires.

Unless the right side tire is extremely low PSI ... then it's alignment ....which doesn't usually ...just appear ..... when did this start .... Mike

Double check your air pressure in both front tires to make sure that they are the same.

Also have a look at the brake pads while you're at it and make sure that the right front is not getting hotter than the left side.
