• 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.

    I also like the..... .....look and feel of my ST. I don't like the look nor the handling of an RT, and the seating position of the F3, for me at 6'2" it is not comfortable and tiring to my lower back. I loved the handling of the RSS, but was getting tired and cramped rapidly because of the...

    Kuhmo AST Tire

    You might also want to know.... .....that your dealer will most probably inflate the Kumho to 28 - 32 lbs. This is way to much for your tire on a Spyders. A car tire is way stronger than a Kenda "bicycle" tire... (check your bicycle, kenda is the tube/tire supplier to 95% of thoses...

    Those that have replace your rear tire on your RT?

    Well... I wouldn't use the Dunlop ! It is too small, and Dunlops have a tendency to be on the hard side.... 20 -22 psi should be enough. Have you looked in the Kumho Ecsta AST in 225/50R15... we have 3 of them and a Toyo proxies 4 and are happy with them.... just so that you know.... ;-)

    Tire pressure in the Rear Kuhmo tire

    I Agree.... ....with you, Mike. Even with a completely deflated tire (leaking valve after tire change) it only looked under-inflated. The only thing I am trying to say with words :banghead: is that when I saw the light scrubbing on the 1/4" above mentionned, I went up 2lbs and it is the same...
