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.

You should not have to remove the fenders but the higher you can get the Spyder off the ground the better. If your tires are the OEM tires they are a directional tire and will have to be dismounted from the rim to be rotated.

ROTATING TIRES
A couple of questions WHY are you doing this......do you have extreme wear on the inside edge ??? if so you need some toe-in.......and bobotar is correct you will need to dis-mount the tires to correctly rotate them and THEN you will have to rebalance them..............personally I think you should get the wear problem fixed and rotating tires in my opinion is not at all cost effective............JMHO.......Mike..........AND I don't think it can be done for $20 in this country or Canada either.................China maybe......:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

TIRE REMOVAL MADE EASY

Well, it was done for $20, unmounted, flipped and balanced, in Los Angeles. I think that's still in US.
I bought my rear tire from them so that might have played a roll.
When I bought my fronts from discount tire, I also got their service/warranty contract that included lifetime rotation but they charged me $5 each tire to rotate Because contract doesn't include unmounting of tires...

Hey Mike, less than $20 for all three.... pic for proof
At WallyWorld, it is cheaper if you remove them yourself and take them in to get them unmounted & remounted, plus they can usually work you in much quicker than if they have to do it all, then you have to wait in line with all the rest

Sorry, don't mean to hijack this thread, just answering a question
I had everything off the rear tire when I took it in- hub, sprocket, bearing all that jazz- cause I'm replacing all the bearings as well (at 34K miles) but found, it actually didn't need them, but I feel better knowing there all done and new for the next 34K miles:thumbup: So the WallyWorld tire shop had no issues with unmounting the old rear & putting the new rear tire on. Tho, I didn't ask them to balance the rear, as I'm going from others' recommendations and just putting Ride-On in it & I'll see how it works once the entire project is done

19k miles on my OEM tires...still look cherry-new. Never heard of rotating them, but as they are directional treaded, the rubber would have to be removed and reversed.:doorag:
