• 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.

Tires


Opinions are kind of like a--h---s, everyone has one. Some are stronger than others. Stronger opinions does not make them right. Weaker opinions does not prove someone any less correct. I was wondering what the reason a person with a very strong opinion would always try to force it on another.
Sometimes the person with the strongest opinion is the one who is really doubtful about his/her strong opinion and stretches the truth a little to make it appear he/she is right. Some people can't stand to appear wrong (take my ---- for instance).

Everyone wants to be right. Problem is, when we are talking about Air (a variable thing) no one is right and no one is wrong. Get it?

I would recommend you use what ever damn air pressure you want to and stop being such a "weeny" and depending on all your decisions in life to come from someone else. Branch out, walk on the wild side and form your own opinions without trying to ask someone else how to live your life! (including the air in your tires).

Over and Out, Capt.Jack


Agreed! Preach it!

What oil are you guys using? And how often do you change the air in your tires? :dontknow: Tom :spyder:

I have found that Crisco Vegetable Oil works wonderfully in my 2017 RTS. I use Radon Gas in my tires, and set the pressure at 120 psi. It's a radioactive gas, but I find that it gives a much smoother ride. It also improves visibility by giving my tires a healthy glow at night.
 
I prefer Canola: it makes my fries crispier! :D
Do you use nitrogen in your tires?
I use a special blend of 78% nitrogen, and most of the rest of the mix is oxygen... :roflblack:
 
WOW.........!

Sometimes I hate being retired, gives me too much time on my hands to sit at my computer when it's -25 deg. out and read what I feel is an informative site to find info on stuff that might prove to be helpful to me when my wife and I are out on the road to somewhere and read this "bickering" going on. I to run a Yokohoma S drive on the rear of my Spyder and have found that it wears flat across the tread at 28lbs., even with a 250-300lb. trailer behind it. I have 4/32's tread left and it started with 7/32's when new. Approx. has 9500 miles on it now. Will be replacing my "crappy" front Kenda's with 19,000+ miles on them with Conti's and will probably start out at 22lbs. and work down from there. since that is where the Kenda's seem to be happy at. Good luck to all in your search for the ultimate pressures! Mad Mac:doorag:

Puhleeeze....

You know as well as I do that isn't going to be found. (I thought you were the expert witness.) Please give me a link for your Generals on their site for Spyder psi.

Oh My GOD.
Do you A$$Holes have to stink up the entire site ??
Can't you keep your stupid bickering to only one thread ?

My IGNORE list just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I've at least not called any one an a$$hole.


I'm sorry to have affected your enjoyment of this site. Let me know where and when and how to post.


But seriously.... the problem is that there is no moderation of the threads. Where are the moderators or admins? That would clear somethings up and make it more of a safe place for some.

I'm not a fan of a moderator.
You can block anyone you don't want to see so that should be good enough for the snowflakes.
The "arguments" I see are normal conversations I've had with friends.
Which Oil? Which Tire? etc are normal conversations amongst friends.
Digits on a screen will never cause me to get upset.

Oh.... I completely agree with you because moderation can get too MUCH and ruin a site.


I was an Admin for a HUGE website forum for about 8 years. We had over 200,000 members and a few thousand posts per DAY. There were about 10 of us and it was difficult to manage. The site became too moderated and many top members left because of it. The "bickering" you are seeing here is amateur compared to what we dealt with. Guess where they went? Facebook.

This "tire pressure" issue is actually hilarious to me. Why some people get so bent out of shape over others running TIRE pressures differently than theirs, kills me. I do NOT care. But, when I see someone bullying others on a forum with NO moderation, you bet I'm going to say something. I don't care how many posts they have, or what they are building in their basement.

For those that have sent me private messages regarding this. Thank you very much! Run your tires however you butt feel is correct. LOL...
 
Peter, I may have mistaken you with another Peter! If I did, I apologize!

But, I still didn't imply that Yoko had a recommended Spyder tire pressure! :)

Hahaha.....yeah, wrong Peter, Todd........I’m “Pete”:D....thanks for the apology.......and I didn’t say that you implied that Yoko had a recommended tire pressure, but just that it is very easy to misinterpret written English unless you mull over every word, punctuation and general grammar by reading a post several times, and that is, shall we say, VERY rare. :thumbup:

Yes, sorry again. Can't keep the Aussies straight! :)

No need for another apology, Todd......we’ve ALL done it at some time.....well, I know I have.;)

Hope you have a great 2018. Your tyre (Aussie spelling, not a mistake:D) observations are most enlightening, and provide much food for thought. I’ll stay with the lower car tyre 18/22 pressures for now as they certainly work well for me in all conditions on the F3.:thumbup:

Pete (not that Aussie bastard Aawen:roflblack:)
