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.

Not really. It isn't needed. Putting a car tire on a motorcycle has a number of negative factors. Because a motorcycle is designed for a completely different tire design. Putting a car tire on a Spyder, which is designed for a car tire, does not have any of the 'Dark Side' aspects. The only negative aspect is the manufacturer's attempts to keep people from doing it.

2019 F3L. At 6000 miles, I replaced the OEM Kendas with Vredestein Q5 in front and a Kumo Ecsta in the rear. I am amazed of the superior ride and handling properties over the Kenda bicycle tires. I’m very happy with my automotive tire choice of tires recommended by others on the forum.

Most any car tire is superior to the OEM Kendas. Many here have Federal Formoza tires on the front and a General Altimax RT43 on the rear.
First, get used to how your Spyder feels and handles, then do car tires. After another 1K miles or more, install the Bajaron sway bar. Then you are golden!
Bikerchris' combination is popular too.

To answer your question, the answer is NO. There is no specific area on spyderlovers where car tires are discussed. But, there are 100's of different threads with many, many, many posts, regarding car tires. You just use the search function, and hope for the best. In any case you've started another tire thread, and I'm pretty sure you'll be getting some responses. Then, besides selecting a specific brand, there's the psi used, and then something about a 4 psi rule (I think it's 4 psi, not sure). But, when all else fails, there's a search function. But, I won't give you my opinion of the search function

I agree! There are no corners on this forum. Dead Ends and hair-pin turns maybe! But no corners! And definitely NO HIDING!
