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.
Any Experience with these two rear tyres?

Thank you all...
Thanks to your help and help from Aussie SpyderRyders, I have managed to find a couple of rear tyre options that are actually stocked out here (and there aren't that many once you contact the advertisers) that are proven and working on Spyders on the horrible, hot Aussie roads.
There's the Kuhmo HS51 (replaces KH17), the Bridgestone Turanza and the Kuhmo KU22.
The first 2 are 225/60 and the Kuhmo KU22 is a 205/55, which makes it the same rolling diameter as the stock Kenda, but a tad narrower, thus ensuring the aftermarket stone guard will not contact it, which was my (probably unfounded) concern given how close it is to the Kenda currently. It's going gangbusters for those who have it, with good wet and dry grip, pretty good mileage and pretty quiet. I have ordered one in and will give it a run providing I don't completely screw the rear end and have my axle fall out or leave the tyre at 45degrees when I remove and replace the wheel. :shocked: The local tyre guys can static balance (or something similar) the new style rear wheels, so that's good news.

I have learnt a great deal about tyres from many of you during this exercise, for which I am extremely grateful, and I sincerely appreciate the significant time and effort put in especially by Mike (Blueknight):bowdown:, Peter Aawen :bowdown:and JC.:thumbup:
I am thinking of changing my forum name to AspectRollingDiameter as that is imprinted in my brain now.:gaah:
Thanks again,
Pete
