Removing the rear tire is not difficult, I took to my local tire dealer to mount ($20), balanced it myself and reinstalled. This is the second Kumo, my last one was still 70% at 10,000 miles when I sold the bike.

Just wanted to add to this post.
I had a Can-Am dealer in Mineral Falls, WV (near Parkersburg) purchase and mount this tire for my Spyder. I have moved from the area, but they had no issues putting that tire on my Spyder.
Tire is in MUCH better shape then the OEM tire was. I have 3K on the tire and I have much more thread left on it then I did with the OEM at 3K. I'm hoping to have 10K + on this tire before I need to have it replaced.
If anyone is in the area, or they need help - these guys are GREAT!! Here is their website.

I know this is an old post but I was wondering how you got one, they told me they could not sell me that tire because it was not approved for the Can Am Spyder? In fact they said they could not sell me anything for the Spyder because the only one approved is sold only by Can Am???
Thanks,

I know there are guys using this Kumho tire and wondered if you have any thoughts. Thanks.
I just mounted one on my 2011 RTS, 25 PSI in it, and love it.
However, if you have the Spyder Pops Rock Guard, you will need to bend the rear guide out some to allow more clearance to the tire. Easy, and not a problem.
