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.

Here's a good site to look at to compare different tire sizes.

I was told, by the dealer, that the factory front tires are designed to flex. Changing them to a car tire will change the characteristics and handling greatly. That's what I was told, how true that is, is another story.
However, the REAR TIRE can be changed to a car tire. Just my 2 cents.

Falken tires
I put the Falken Ziex ZE 175/65/R14 on our spyder with 25 lbs air. Original tires had a huge amount of weights and Ride on in them. Had fender, mirror vibration, with the Falkens hardley any weight, no fender vibration, no mirror vibration, handles better in the curves, much smother on the highway, power steering seems easier, I am sold on the change for $32/tire no shipping.:2thumbs:

Extracool,
Did you mount the tires yourself? I asked my dealer about having him mount my tires (purchased elsewhere) and he quoted $25 per tire. I may also buy a new set of wheels from him so maybe I can negotiate a better price. If you had someone else do the job do you mind telling me what it cost?
Thanks
