I am sure this has been discussed before, but what kind of tire milage can I expect with the RT. I would think it would be about the same as the other models but I am a new owner of any Spyder so it is all new to me. My Gold Wing usually got about 18-20K. By the way, we ordered our RT mid December and I don't think I will see it until March. Glad to see so many being delivered down south.:thumbup:

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.

Tire life for the RT is pretty much an unknown, for now. At least one RT5 Spyder had 10,000 miles before it was replaced, with no need for new tires. Tire life for the RS model seems quite variable, depending on the rider, averaging 10,000 miles for the rear and 15-20,000 for the front. These seem to be middle of the road figures, with some much higher and some much lower. I am surprised you could get that much mileage on Goldwing tires, especially if your figures are in miles. I can only manage 4-6K miles on my BMW RT. Stickier tires on the sport touring bikes, I guess, but I have never heard of 18-20K miles on a motorcycle of any kind, although 18-20K kilometers might be possible. Still darned good tire life, even in km. Remember that the RT is heavier, with the exact same tires, so I would expect the tire mileage to be reduced...at least for docile riders. BTW, my RT came in last week, in Michigan, so we are getting some in the north.
