    Here was my order to them last week, delivered:

    I checked them out. The tire price was within pennies the same but shipping was about $10 more than onlinetires. But if I can't get past the vehicle info requirement I may go with them. I take it they did not require you to tell what vehicle you were putting them on?

    Default Federal PSI?

    Good afternoon all,

    Can I assume that the cold pressures would be different from a 2 ply Kenda to a 4 ply Federal?
    I would think they would be slightly squishy at 20PSI.

    If so, does anyone have a recommendation for the PSI of the Federals up front?

    Thank you

    Default WHERE OH WHERE

    WHERE OH WHERE did this idea that Kenda and 1 other tire are the ONLY tires that will fit the SPYD3Rs....?????
    i've used 3 different brands; 2 brands on my RS, and now the HANKOOKs on my F3... and i have NEVER HAD A PROBLEM in over 50,000 miles of smiles...
    i find my HANKOOKs are a world apart from the OEM Kenda's and would buy them again... except they are an 80,000 mile tire, and most likely i'll have another SPYD3R before these wear out....

    Default Just put a new set

    Of Hankook tires on my RT this past weekend. Haven't been able to take the bike out yet so cannot say how they perform. No fitment issues to speak of though.

    Ride safe!

    You have to be more careful about changing the tire diameters (As long as the new ones can fit under the fenders).
    Mis-matched tires speeds can cause error messages to pop up!
    Hey Bob what is the closest size you would use for the oem 165/55/15 Thanks[emoji1063]

    ^^ Wot'E says!!

    For the fronts, 20-21 odd psi in a car tire (likely capable of carrying 1000+lbs plus @ saaay 40psi max per tire) would be fine if your Spyder weighed over at least 500lbs on each tire; but it's more likely the front weighs in at less than around 750lbs total, or something less than 375lbs on each tire.... (currently my 2013 RT only puts down about 660lbs up front/330lbs per tire & the last 1330 RT I weighed only came in at 695lbs total ) Running them at pressures that are too high reduces their grip on the road, especially on wet roads; increases the risk of road hazard punctures; & increases the risk of centre tread wear, possibly also feathering on the tread edges & likely adding to any 'darty' type steering response. As always, it's ultimately your own call, buuut.....
