Just making sure before I order this t**e
I know everyone hates tire threads, but I just want to make sure this is the correct size for the rear of my 2015 RT.
I'm close to 16,000 miles on my Spyder, and the tread on the rear tire is at 4mm. I was hoping to go at least a year on the rear tire, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I've been following many of the tire threads, and have concluded that the General Altimax is the best choice for me.
This is the tire that I found on Amazon. Please let me know this is the correct size before I click on the order button. Please, no arguments about my choice of tire, I just want to verify the size.
Thanks!

You're good to go!
That's just a little bit taller than the 225/55-15, but most folks say that the change makes their speedometer read more accurately!
I think that Dee and Mike run this rear tire...

Tire size should be in the owners manual and on the tire itself.

Thank the lord for that.

There are good reasons you should buy a motorcycle tire for a motorcycle and not a car tire. You get what you pay for. $43.00????

Like I stated in my post, I'm just verifying the size, not asking for opinions on what brand or type of tire to get. Perhaps you can voice your opinions on another thread.
