• 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.

3 new tires all kinds of warnings and limp mode

Interesting as I am running a 205/65R-15 on the back of my 2020RT with no issues. My speedometer is now within 1/2 mile of my GPS.

Phobius has a 2010 RS, so I'm not sure they directly compare. I was told the 205/65R15 would be just fine on my 2020RT, but I was cautious and wanted to keep the front-to-rear rotation rate as close to stock as I could. I wish Can-AM would reveal why they don't approve of car tires. I assumed it was the pulse rate tolerance of Nanny and tried to minimize the difference. With the 205/55R15 my speedo is the same as stock, even though all my tires are a little smaller radius than the Kendas were.

Thank you for enlightening some of our less knowledgeable members on the facts ..... you and other members here have successfully mounted that size tire on a Spyder..... Facts matter ..... Mike :thumbup:....maybe some other member will chime in with info about 205/R65 -15 tires .....

Back when I was researching tires to replace my rear about 2 years ago (only got 7500 miles on the stock tire), I ordered 3 different make tires from Walmart all being the same size, 215/60 R15. When they came in I measured the diameter of all three and they varied by over a half inch in diameter and varied in width sitting next to each other (un-installed). Granted, they may have changed diameter and width once installed and inflated. I ended up picking the Kumho Solus TA11, 215/60 R15 one as it was closest to the stock diameter and returned the rest without a problem. This one is a 75K mile tire although I would not pick it again as it's too hard a rubber. It's not the best in the rain. I run 18 PSI, do burn outs now and then, ride it hard in the mountains and 11 K miles later it still looks new. Damn it, it'll last forever. At around $50 it's more than paid for itself. I had no nanny problems (did the work myself thanks to this forum), no issues with the width once inflated (I can get my finger between the tire and belt, well pinky) and it corrected the speedometer to be within .5 of the GPS. I live in Florida (Melbourne) and ride rear round. It's a 2016 F3 Ltd (bought new in 2017) with about 18,500 miles on it. So far it's been an awesome bike with no problems, nock on wood. I used to ride a Concours sport touring bike (still in the COG club, they don't care) and ride this one the same way. I'm right on their butts in the mountains (to their surprise), but alas, they leave me in their dust on the straight stretches. BTW, at our get togethers, we ride hard during the day (150- 200 mile days just for lunch) and party at night. Hope this helps someone.
