Do you have a picture of it on the bike? Just wonder how it looks compared to stock dimension wise.

Thanks,

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience. That tire has a hardness rating of 800, with a 90,000 mile warranty. This rating being near the top end of the compunds available. Since the Spyder is so light relatively speaking, it seems like it could cause some handling issues.

No handling issues since I install my Michelin HydtoEdge on my RT.

We have the same size Primacy, no issues whatsoever.

Thanks for the information, I just ordered two to us... Found out they are being discontinued so I wanted to stock up.

I'm running 28 psi also. Tread wear looks nice and even. No handling issues that I can report. I'll snap a picture when I get home tonight.

As long as it works, that's what counts. I'm running 28 psi as well.

Michelin Hydroedge

Here's the Hydroedge at 3700 miles - nice and flat with good tread definition. You can see the heavy center rib and good water paths to the edge which is one of the reasons I chose to try this tire

 

[tigerdr]

Michelin HydroEdge or Michelin Primacy... the best choice.

Here's the Hydroedge at 4000 miles - nice and flat with good tread definition. You can see the heavy center rib and good water paths to the edge which is one of the reasons I chose to try this tire

Good Info like formula 1 harder compound will last longer but is not good in the rain asked another SL he said his michelin hydroplanes he is using the same tire , lower treadwearwear tire will be softer better for rain
