Vee Rubber 225/50/R15 TIRE, LIVE AND LEARN

[den2614]

Finally opened the new 225/50/R15 tire that I received from Mcy Super Store. Well low and behold, it's a 68H tire. I called CS and even after I told him that I specifically stated I have a 14 RTL, he sent me the wrong tire. Well it turns out that the 68H is the only tire they have for the Spyder. Live and learn. At least I don't have to pay for return shipping. Oh well, guess I'll research the General
Defender.

Question: I just measured the tire treads on the OEM tires. The rear has 5mm tread and the fronts have 6mm tread left. Am I good for awhile? I have 5,500 miles on them.
Thanks from a member who has learned to not trust salesman.

<font color="firebrick">Actually the General Altimax RT - 43 had better performance numbers for anti-hydroplaning, wet and dry traction than the Defender. Plus it's quite a bit less money, there are quite few people here using this tire now ........................Mike [emoji106]

Mike,

According to the tire specifications in the manual, you should not go below 4mm on the rear, and 2.5mm on the fronts. So you should be ok for awhile. :thumbup:
