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.

It probably is... :shocked:
Initially; it looked promising.
I have no experience on their tires; you should probably check with the folks who were menttioned in the previous threads.
They can give you the "Report From The Saddle", that matters! :thumbup:

The reports that I read that would concern me the most is that they can spin on the wheel. Mark the side of the tire by the valve stem and keep an eye on it. Hopefully you do not have that issue.

Mike has mounted and sold 52 since July...everyone super happy and getting excellent mileage...Ann Meyers has a rear Arachnid on since July and has logged 9,000 miles on it so far...and that is NOT the new prototype...it is the original 225/R15...."the one that supposedly slips"...she states "It has not slipped"...In fact we called everyone NO ONES slipped but one person in VA. and I don't know how it was mounted...I know they have a good tire here
And the good news is it is a motorcycle tire,,,The insurance companies are starting to get wind of car tires on Spyders and are refusing to honor the accident claim...there is more info to come

SCARE TACTICS
:roflblack:.....................I suppose if I were selling tires I might ( and I stress " MIGHT " ) be tempted to use scare tactics to increase sales ......but I don't think so .........IMHO,Mike :thumbup:
....And BRP will void the warranty on your Spyder if any added pieces/parts are not stamped "BRP" and we all know how valid that is !!!!!

Sorry but my BS o meter just pegged the scale. Please provide link to news article or insurance company documentation showing denial of claim based on this reason. I do not believe it exists as it would have to prove the tire WAS the cause AND that the owner of the policy had a reasonable knowledge that the tire WOULD cause such a problem. Not gonna happen.
Please quit trying to use scare tactics to sell inferior tires that do not meet the weight requirements for the Spyder RT. Chinese tires at that.

No scare tactics here...we don't make enough money on Arachnids so it is not our number one priority...laser sales are,,,all we offer is the truth
And because we are not associated with BRP we can give a honest opinion of "aftermarket "tires...we just hate to see any tire bashed when the rumors of slippage just can't be true...Mike has mounted a 1000 Hoosier racing tires over the last 20 years so he knows a little bit about tires...we should ask Ron Netzley...he is a tire guy
Just saying the Arachnids are good tire and they are made for Motorcycles...IMHO...FYI got to see a Slingshot last night...interesting
