Comments & suggestions on Front Tires?

New owner of 2017 Spyder RT Limited with original tires. Have read different posts regarding replacement of front tires. Intrigued by the thought of tire(s) with a stiffer sidewall to help reduce body roll while cornering. Comments and suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

First off, Welcome to the Spyder Forum.
Check out the posts on this Forum.

Currently there are 2 or 3 up running. Check them out.

Front tires are easy to replace. If you can remove your wheels/tires from your Spyder.
You will save a ton of money.

Good Luck .....:thumbup:

Do a search for front tires here in the forum. It'll take you longer to read all the info and comments than it would take you to ride to New York!!!!!

If BODY ROLL in corners is what you're trying to fix, you'll be better off getting a BajaRon sway bar or replacement shocks. Auto tires will add traction and give a better 'feel' for the road.

:congrats: & :welcome: .... currently the New model Vredestein tire ( the Quatrac ) is the highest rated tire available .... you can get them now ( even in the current tire shortage ) from tirerack.com ..... 165/60-15 .... if you order on-line or by phone check the " decline veh. info box " ... these are AUTO tires and they might not sell them to you .... for LEGAL reasons ..... even tho the Spyder has AUTO type " J " wheels which match Auto tire " bead " shape ... I could type for Hours explaining this, but it has already been posted here for years ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

Do yourself a favor if you have a rainy Saturday morning and get a cup of coffee and type in the search engine, car tires, and get ready to drink a pot of coffee and oh yes have a couple aspirin ready, because you will get a headache for sure!!!:roflblack: You have to do it at least once!!! The Bluenight is worth listening to in my book, he has this subject hands down, trust me!!!
