• 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.

Are rear tire remove and install directions posted anywhere for the RTs? Will the rear tire/wheel fit on a bubble balancer?
 
I made a video.

Please see people notes about removing the hub. Some car places can do it without removing the hub but you may still have to remove the brake disk. My video shows how to remove the hub but turned out I did not need to had I gone to a different care tire place with newer equipment.

Yes you can use a bubble balancer but being on how accurate they are, most use balance beads.

How do balance beads work? I used a bubble balancer for years on my 140 mph 1000 lb formula car so I trust that it will be OK for the Spyder. If the tire shop can spin balance I'll try that.
