........Personally I think your Dealer ( stealer ) should be arrested for what He's doing .....there's a profit margin and then there is OUT RIGHT LARCENY ......Check out the Harbor Freight website ....for what you are spending at the Dealer you buy your own tire changing set -up and be done with it ..........Also check the Yellow pages for independant MTC shops they can do this for a lot less and won't care if you don't bring a CRAPENDA TIRE to mount .....just sayin......I really feel for for you .....Mike

Mike,
He's up in Alaska... They have much different skillsets up there.
There's about 2 Spyder dealersin the State I think...
And that's a mighty Big-A$$ State!

We had some back and forth when another member posted a question on whether or not to change out the rear tire on her 2014 RT.

I had mine changed out yesterday, since it was in the same condition as the picture posted.

Dealer will not use other than OEM tire brand.

Changed out at 8782 miles--better than a lot have posted. No choice but the famous Kenda--they tell me this is from the "older" stock--so I should not have soft tire issues.

My bill? They wanted $500.00 and change. $179.00 for the tire and 3 hours labor to do it. I got them to back down to 2.2 hours on the labor. Final cost $421.99. Previous rear tires were changed out at $350.00

Not a real happy camper--but--the have me where they want me.

​Judas priest!!!! @ that price you could afford to purchase the equipment to brake it down yourself; would pay for the cost of equipment on the first tire change. Or at the worst take it to a tire shop and have them mount a new one and reinstall it yourself
