    Default 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.

    How much do they charge for shipping though? With Amazon Prime shipping is free.

    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.

    .Bob,.. Even though I've just been ELIMINATED as one of the INTELLIGENT people in this community , I don't believe KUMHO makes a tire in 225/55-15........................Unless this is a very NEW tire from them........Mike

    Don't worry about it at all, Mike...
    Now that the "pressure" is off of you, you can choose to be:
    Impish
    Silly
    Nonsensical
    Funny
    Petulant
    Quizzical
    Informative (just not quite "intelligent")
    or even useful!
