• 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 there any issues with this tire size?

:thumbup: No Problem, We mounted these tires on my brother's 2020RTL, and I have 175/55r15 tires on the front of mine.
 
Knizar, I noticed you have those Centramatic balancers on your Spyder. Did you balance your tires also? The reason I’m asking is, I just put a set of Kumho 175/55r15 tires like you have on my ‘22 RTL. I had mine balanced and one took 1oz, the other one took 2.25oz. I'm thinking of purchasing a set of the Centramatic balancers. Would I have to remove any weights on my wheels? That size tire on the front are tight. I had to reroute my fender light wiring on the brackets. I had to tap these wiring tabs also. Hopefully they will be ok. I can’t try it just yet, got 18” of snow on ground. Thanx Rhino

A small amount of weight is not an issue - if they were spun balanced, then they are balanced. The centramatics aren't going to improve that. However, it's your Money, but there is no such thing as MORE balanced than balanced. ..... JMHO .... Mike :thumbup:

Rhino, You would NOT have to remove your new balancing weights. These centramatic balancers work to keep the tires balanced as they wear. (I had removed my old weights when I replaced the OEM tires, & not rebalanced other than adding the centramatic balancers, turned out very smooth ride:clap:) The larger Kumho tires seem to have a bit wider footprint which makes for very close tolerance, but after over 7K miles I have had No issues. By adding the centramatic balancers will move the tire & rim out away from the fender mounting bracket about 1/16"(which is a Good Thing). I replace my own tires so no need for tire shop and the balancers can be moved from bike to bike. Have them on all three corners....Good Luck :thumbup: Bill
