Tire replacement question -- non-OEM tire

[Fat Baxter]

Does anyone in this forum know of a dealer or tire service center in central Alabama who is willing (and capable) of replacing the stock Kenda rear tire with a non-OEM tire?

I've only gotten 6500 miles out of the stock Kenda, and I'd like to try another brand (almost anything else lasts far longer; see the general discussion forum), but all the dealers I've queried won't replace the tire with anything but the crappy OEM Kenda. Apparently BRP is leaning on them about this.

I live just north of Montgomery. Thanks!

Thanks, but Spyderpops is in Arkansas. I'm tying to find someone in my immediate region.

You might check with ISCI and see if they know anyone in Montgomery who can help you.

Remove the rear wheel/tire and take the wheel to Discount tire and they can mount the tire on your wheel. There are very good videos of how to do so. Also most independent motorcycle shops can do the work as the rear axle is similar to many other bikes.

SpyderAnn01 -- ISCI did it for me. It's nice having an option. I don't understand why the dealers are so anal about non-OEM tires.
