Any idea if/when...
So does anyone know if/when VEE Rubber will be coming out with a new compound "FRONT" tires for the 2012's and below using 165/65R14? I saw posts earlier stating that the new compound are out, but all I see is for the 15" tires...
Lamont said that he was working with the MFG, and would be selling them at his store, but nothing recently.
Any news?

Highwayman provided a link to a site where they stock and sell all four varieties: both size fronts, both rears. I think there are other retailers, also, but check the various posts and then ask them who they bought from. Or just order from SpyderComfort.

Did you get the right front tires?
Front for the Vee Rubber Arachnid is V35003 - 165/55r/15.
Rear for the Vee Rubber Arachnid is V35004 - 225/50r/15

Kinda Rear Tire
Just to add into this pot, I just had my 1st annual service done on my 2014 RT-S. My mileage is at 5,900 and the report says my rear tire has 30% treadwear left. I'm also researching the Arachnid.

The Arachnid is a soft tire much like the Kenda. You won't get much better mileage out of it. I have had 3 of them so I speak from experience. It is a nice handling tire like the Kenda but it is soft. If you want long tread life get a car tire. They are cheaper and last much longer.

Thanks for the advice Ann, but I'm part of the crowd who thinks that they recommend MC tires for a reason and I do believe that Safety is the key reason. I do wish and fervently hope that you never have a safety issue, but I'm not willing to take that chance. Maybe I'll change my mind, but for now, it's MC tires as recommended by BRP.

Many choices good luck

I just replaced my rear Kenda on a 2015 rts se6. 7700 miles and was pretty well worn out. Installed an Arachnid from motorcycletiremaniac.com. $135. Delivered no steel sidewall belts. Hope it lasts longer than the Kenda
