Kenda tires - I truly don't understand the hateful responses to Kenda tires. I have over 22,000 km on mine and they're only 50% worn.

I found that running 30psi in the fronts cured a lot of the understear at lower pressure (24psi).

Wow... really ? I have just a tiny but of understeer that can usually be eliminated by adding a little throttle in corners, but I might try that just to see what difference it makes for me.

DON'T!!

Over-inflating any tire is dangerous, not only to you, but also to those road users around you!! And if it's a Kenda &/or any of their derivatives or clones, over-inflating a lightly constructed tire with poor quality control and a known history of significant issues with their construction and integrity, it's just asking for trouble!!

If it's a Kenda &/or any of their derivatives or clones, then run their recommended pressure +/- no more than 2 psi if conditions warrant it; cos they NEED that pressure to work and not fail catastrophically. However, 'real' car tires (especially the better quality brands), which are quite capable of carrying a vehicle up to 3 times a Spyder's weight & loading at 28 psi, can arguably, as evidenced by the millions of safely and successfully travelled miles Spyder Owners have done on them at 18 psi, out-perform the OEM Kendas, their derivatives, and their clones in all respects.

Having thought this through some more I've decided against trying it. I use quality car tyres all around on my Spyder so while they'll be 30psi capable, I understand tyres with lighter construction could become dangerous.

Also, the tiniest bit of understeer I have isn't worth sacrificing traction and ride quality for.
