.NEW ???. I think they started making them 2 years ago, not really any better than the Kenda's from reports of their wear characteristics............not surprising they used the Kenda as the model :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:............Mike :roflblack:

Vee Tire New?

I replaced the tires front and rear on my 2008 RS last March and so far have almost 10,000 miles on them with good results. The front are showing some even wear, but the rear looks almost new. I don't spare the throttle, but no burn outs. The fronts are wearing due to cornering and having rough road surfaces here on the Oregon Coast. I'm going to measure tread depth to the wear bars and document further rate of wear more precisely.

I've had one on the rear for over a year now. Excellent wear so far.

Realtively new....

They came out and started selling but ran into a spec problem. They corrected that and are doing well. I have had two sets of Kendas with good results (apparently one of the few) but will try the Arachnid (Vee) tire next time around...:thumbup:

Question: Have they brought out a 15" front tire yet? :dontknow:
(My last conversation with them, was left as, "Soon...")

:clap: Thanks! I just checked their website, and didn't see them listed (yet...)... :thumbup:

Lamont was....

The last I had heard about these tires was that Lamont had received the "New" compound formula tires and was going to test them on his machines. He said something about stocking them in his store if they met with his approval....That was at least 6 months ago....
I understand that the "Old" style had some difficulty with sidewall support and didn't meet specs for use with the heavier Spyder RT models.

Not new. Poor chinese copy of a bad chinese tire.

Get some high quality top tier tires.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Not new. Poor chinese copy of a bad chinese tire.

I'm not defending the tire or the company however it's made in Taiwan, which does have it's own Government separate from China........I just watched a video about Vee Rubber tire co.......It's been making tires for 40 years and is one of the largest producers in the world...........Perhaps their second generation product ( for Spyders ) will be better than the first....................It would be interesting to know what Lamont found out about the new batch !!!!!.....................Mike :thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

:agree: It's tough to complain about them, if you haven't had any experience with them...

Or have you??? :dontknow:

Just the first gen. Was not impressed as they slipped on the rim (oversized bead diameter) and were under rated for the vehicle. Was able to get a return / refund. Swore I would stick with top tier tires after that.

Sorry, it was a poor attempt at non-politically correct humor. But they are not top tier tires nor are they well known for quality. Low cost supplier.

 

[Bob Denman]

Thanks; I had to check... :thumbup:
:shocked: It's fully understandable why you're not a fan of them. nojoke

 

[mtbear]

Thanks was wondering.
