How many miles/seasons should stock Tires last? Replacement options?

[Grayson]

Newbie here, got my 2021 Ryker 600 back around last August. Had some questions regarding the tires:

-Roughly how many miles/seasons should the stock tires last, with intermittent use (say driving around 30 miles a day, 3 days a week)?

-Any recommended brand/type/size for replacement other than the stock?

It will depend on a lot of things, how you drive, road conditions, tire pressures, ect,ect!! And on the differant tires for your bike do a search at the top of the home page there are thousands of tire threads, and you will need a lot of coffee, or beer to get threw them!!!

Ballpark info on OEM tires. Fronts good for 20K. Rear between 8K and 15K. Depends on how you drive them. This info is based on MY experience with seven (7) spyders. I have used mostly OEM tires for mine.

30 miles a day x 365 = approx 11K per year. Do the math here.

If you drive little to none....tires should be changed out every three to four years. No matter how fresh they "look." They can self destruct if they are to old.

The fact is OEM Kenda tires are CRAP ..... they are weakly made and have the worst " DEFECTIVE " tire rate of any mass produced tire - PERIOD ..... Although I hate Kenda tires and have said so for a decade, I have extensive knowledge about TIRES and will say and have said many times ... Properly aligned tires used on the front will last 20 to 22,000 mi. ( an Auto tire of the same size approx. 10 to 20,000 miles more - I now have over 40,000 mi. on front mounted Altimax RT 43 ) ...... The rear Spyder tires will wear much quicker, as said above ..... But I will be honest here ....there have been folks who have reported tire wear that is almost un-believable, WHY ??? is that .... the only thing I can come up with is - whereever they are riding, ie. the geography, temperature, weight, riding style, etc. appears to have an effect on over-all tire wear..... good luck ....

ARtraveller & Blueknight - you both give experience on Spyder tyres - OP asks for experience with Ryker tyres. I can imagine that Ryker tyre use: mileage & recommended brand/type/size for replacement other than the stock are different for a Ryker than a Spyder.

I doubt they're that much different. The front tires of a ryker do the same work as a spider. The back tire, however, is driven by a cvt instead of a geared tranny. I suspect that may see more wear.
I took their feedback as good info as both bike types are similar.

NO ..... both veh's are of similar design and both suffer from the use of " crappy " Kenda tires. Since we both recommend using Auto tires the PSI we suggerst applies to both veh's ..... Mike :thumbup:

The rear tire is available from a few manufacturers and usually less than $150.

This is a worthwhile upgrade while doing mods to your Ryker.
