• 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.

Discount Tire...grrr

I learned the hard way, like many others I suppose....they won't sell me a 225/50/15 tire if I list my Spyder as the vehicle it's going on. Can someone give me an example of a vehicle that this size tire goes on, so I can buy one? Good grief!!:banghead:

Thanks

and ask him about the KUMHO relationship with DISCOUNT TIRE...
 
I just went on the Discount Tire website and selected that tire size, put it in my cart, and was one click away from buying it no questions asked. You have the option of selecting a tire by size and ordering it without vehicle information. That's how I ordered my YOKO S Drive from Tire rack. I could be wrong but I see no difference with Discount Tire.
 
Buy from them on EBay

No ? Asked. No tax no ship.
 
Been using Discount for years on Spyder stuff. They'll shy away from any tire that says "motorcycle" on the side. Otherwise they've never cared what I was doing with them. Bought my Bridgestone Potenza's for the fronts and they had no issue mounting and balancing them. Their machine couldn't handle the rear so I've had to do those elsewhere or myself.

I wouldn't touch the Kumho tires anyway.
 
Discount Tire Direct is on EBay and you don't have to provide vehicle info to purchase......

In my experience NoT SO. They called me 2 days after placing my order and asking for my fitment.
"to ensure they are suitable and safe" what a crock...

I'm puzzled why you even tried with as much as this has been discussed here, or did you not see all the threads about DT's change of policy?
 
Experimental of my own making!

Interesting..!!

of all the tires out there being used...why is this the only one they refuse to sell to ya'll..:hun: if you tell them your using the yokohama tires on your spyder they don't care. So who told them no..?? Brp, kumho, Discount Tires...just wondering they are not that great...did kumho or discount tires or both get sued..?? ...:dontknow:
 
This is interesting, it would be good to know why? I have a feeling for me it is going to be even harder, because we don't have all brands here, and I would be worried about "some dude" putting a tire on my rear without knowing what he is doing "even if he says he knows" but I will have to deal with that when the time comes...

If like Peru, you may have a better selection what with the european models running about. Size is the issue to keep speedometer accurate and very few rotational tries out there (non motorcycle). The good thing is they will never question your motives...:roflblack:
 
The Kumho sucks as a tire anyway so I don't know why anyone would ask for one.
As far as 'some dude' installing them.... It's really not a big deal. I've put rears on by hand before.

Has anyone had an issue with using a non stock tire and it failed causing damage to the bike or caused an accident and your insurance refused to pay or BRP refused to repair under warranty since it was not a stock tire?

Thanks,

We have never heard a report of a non-OEM tire being used as an excuse by an insurance company to NOT pay a claim...
Claims adjusters NEVER take the time to look at a tire's brand or markings..
A non-issue!
 
SOME DUDE - - -HA HA

:yikes: :roflblack: Laura, any place that does car or pk-up trk tires ( with the usual hydraulic machine ) can mount tires on the Spyder rims....They can even high speed spin balance the front and Bubble balance the rear........BUT you must A. bring the wheels in and ...B. take the HUB off the rear Wheel / Rim........................Good Luck......Mike :thumbup:
