As much as the "Old Guard" in here might be "tired of tires"; you have to remember that there are always new folks joining. They haven't had access to this information yet.
there are two tires made specially for the spyder, many car tires that fit and thousands of opinions. I have had good luck with the oem tires and will stick with them. Now your welcome to open a search on tires and take a month off to read up on them,,,

Another chance to answer a question that not everyone knows the answer to. I will try to be helpful to everyone.
My dealer refuses to put any tire on but the OEM recommended tires. So, I am stuck.
With the exception of the soft compound in 2014, my tires are doing well again. The replacement rear tire now has almost 15K miles on it. My "usual." The fronts have 20K on them, also my "usual."
I plan on replacing all three sometime this summer. Yes, they will be OEM.

I actually don't mind tire threads that much, just wish that people would search before posting the same question that's been asked and answered so many times.
To the OP, I just had a General Altimax RT43 delivered, which I will be installing on my rear (the Spyder, not my ass) next week. This tire came highly recommended by Mike (Blueknight911) and his girlfriend Deanna. Deanna currently uses the tire, and Mike is very knowledgeable about the technical aspects of it. I hold both of their opinions in high regard.
The Herd gets a little edgy when you ask questions regarding their tires!
