• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Weird tire wear

​I have always used Kenda's and think there great Mike. Here they cost $180 and that includes free install.

The new compound is almost doubling the mileage and still is soft enough to have excellent traction when wet. Not so the car tires! I personally feel they are a safer tire and much easier to find. Most Spyder dealers stock them. Come April I will celebrate 66 years of riding Motorcycles. Only added this to let you know I am not a "newbie" when it comes to motorcycle tires. There is a whole lot more to motorcycle tires than mileage. I hope everyone realizes this for there own safety.

Except for the 2014 rear tires with softer compound (I got 8,900 miles), all the other OEM Kenda's have given me 15K plus on mileage. :yes:

The wet traction of that tire is amazing an I got 9000 miles out of it. But then again, I ride too fast an we all know what that does to rear tires.

Just sayin'............
 
How would you know... ????

How can you make a judgement call like this if you ALWAYS have used kenda tires, and have NEVER tried a car tire?

Try them, after you will be able to talk. Otherwise, you just express an opinion, without any value..... sorry to have to say it as directly, but, please stop talking without knowing the facts.... and this is MY opinion.
