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.
Are 165/60/15 Vredstein's the correct front tire for a 2023 RT-L?

I have used this brand front though snow sleet rain and emergency stop pulling a Solace camper.
Never failed to give me the traction to turn and or stop!!
Love Vredstein

The 175/55R15 Vredesteins work well on pre-2020 models. BRP trimmed the interior clearance on the 2020+ models and sometimes the 175/55R15 will rub, slightly. But you don't want this. Both pre and post 2020 models do fine with the 165/60R15 Vredesteins.
Tires are not identical in size from brand to brand. And there are slight anomalies even within a brand from tire to tire. This is also true with the interior dimensions of our fender wells. If you end up with a slightly larger tire matched with a slightly smaller fender clearance on the 2020+ Spyder, then you may get slight rubbing. There are ways to mitigate the rubbing if it happens, and if you want to go to that trouble.
The 175/55R15 will handle somewhat better than the 165/60/15 tire. But we are talking about pushing your Spyder pretty hard to notice the difference.
