Thanks!:thumbup:
At $110 bucks (ish...); you can find them for better prices...
But it's still a much better price, than the OEM Kenda... :clap:

BOB;
MY CONCERN FOR POSTING THIS WAS; "if you can't get them from DISCOUNT TIRE, it's better to pay a higher price, than not get them at all"....
THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE POST...

Especially since it lasts at least three times as long. My Kumho on my 2014 RTL has over 18000 miles already and still looks great compared to my OEM that was dead at 8000 miles

9000 miles

On my 14 sts and needs a new tire real bad....question is how hard is it to find that tire? My last one I got a ntb but looks like they no longer sale it!

Then just find a 215/60 -15 with some good specs at TIRERACK.COM...................This size is OK.............Mike :thumbup:

Who do you get to mount the tires?:banghead: I was talking with my dealer/salesman last week about tire differences,he told that they wouldn't put on anything but a tire made for Spyders, because the bead on car tires would not seal as well as a Spyder specific tire..:dontknow:At least that is what a Michellan (sic) Rep told him...

 

[SPYD3R]

BS

that's BS Cyle.....
i'm on my 2nd KUMHO, and i check my psi at least once per month, and i NEVER had to add air once... yes i do change the psi depending on how i'm riding, ie; heavy or light, but that's about it... you would think these service managers would know their products...
take your SPYD3R to Powersports of Greenville, ask for Bridget (a real service manager) and she'll be happy to mount a KUMHO or any other non-Kenda tire for you... tell her i sent you, and she'll give you a big smile....

Joke of the year... I have a Michelin HydroEdge since last 8000 miles and no problem to report.

definitely a crock to try to sell overpriced OEM tires with phony statement.. Lots of reputable dealers install car tires on the rear tire

 

[greatrides]

My last spyder had car tire on it and loved it never had a problem! I'm lucky and can mount my tire at work...:thumbup:
