Vee Rubber

[trikermutha]

Vee Rubber has the newer tire (Rear) for the RT models..Part # V35004

Now I need to locate a dealer stocking these new version tire

Anyone out there know of a Dealer Stocking these new version Rear tire?

[pegasus1300]

Are they better then the original? How do they compare to a car tire? I haven't heard of these before

[trikermutha]

I don't know about the newest Version but am willing to try it out if I can find a dealer.

They do have a tire for the lighter Spyders and not sure if anyone out there is running with that version.

And they modeled this tire after the KENDA, better known as the " crapenda " by many here........IMHO the absolutely lowest grade of passenger car tire that will fit on your Spyder is probably twice as good as either one of those .......Mike

hope you can get one and give us a review. I know spyderann was running one for some time but do not know of anyone on this newer version. I, for one, have had good luck with kenda but would be interested in a choice of motorcycle tires for spyders....good luck will be watching...

I have read your post on this topic on many occasions. At this time they are making two versions of the rear tire for the spyders with different load ratings. Still trying tp locate a dealer as I type..

My current Kenda is on its last leg and do have a Kumho as a spare for now. But did want to try the Vee Tire as another option.

try this place. Don't know anything about them but they have the tire. http://www.motorcycletiresmaniac.com/

spydercomfort.com has them. Spyderann ran one and said the outside wore more than the middle needs more air than the Kenda but lasted the same miles.

[trikermutha]

I don't think they have the newest tire or anyone has been running on them as they just made it in the USA recently

Time will tell...
It'll take some time for the market to start to generate some useful evaluations of them.

Update

Ok after several emails and online chats I finally got two vendors.
One is Vee Rubber direct for around 155 shipped and the other place is 124.95 plus shipping

[Bob Denman]

Which place is the "Other Place"?
Do you have any contact information for them?
Thanks for the legwork!

I just called Spydercomfort…I believe they are the only ones with the NEW rears,,,and “correct” the 15 inch fronts will be coming by August 1^st

Just to clear up info: this is a quote from Kristal

Okay the number VTR 350 refers to ALL ARACHNID TIRES and many websites out there are tricking you….

You have to ASK……what serial number you are buying..Vee Rubber factory is telling me the websites might be selling the old style…the rears have the same sizing…BUT LOOK AT RATING

#V35001 is original fronts 165/65 R 14 the old front is rated 47 H

#V35002 is original rear 225/50 R15 the old rear is rated 68 H

The new ones are

#V35003 is the new fronts 165/55 R15 the new front is rated 55H

#V35004 is new rear for the 1330 225/50 R15 the new rear is rated 80 H

Toyo Proxes T 1R 185/55-15 for the front of my 2014 RT Basic ( old style front fenders )....@ Tire Rack ....plus shipping to Vt.....I did have to massage the brackets a little and I did add some washers on the front brackets (ONLY) ............but it's a very wide tire......Mike
