Vee Rubber

So what does that mean in Dog Years? I take it more H's is better?

80 is load rating=992
H is speed rating=130

The original Vee Rubber rear tires were rated only at 68 which is 694 lbs. OK for the RS but the RT's were to have a 76 rating which is 882 lbs and is what the Kenda's are rated. The new Vee's for the RT are even higher-rated as said above, 992 lbs.

I had purchased one of the original Vee's because Vee advertised they were for the higher load of a Spyder. But their literature never mentioned the actual load rating. My dealer got the tire, installed it on my 2011 RT, and then I saw the load rating. The dealer and I both agreed it was not adequate and we took it off. Fine for RS's, not for RT's. Now I have a new one with the higher rating on its way here from Vee Rubber. Will go on my 2014 RT. Vee said these tires have just now become available, as Lamont and others have stated.

My First impression of the new touring tire is very responsive at this point, but then again I just drove around the neighborhood after I got it back together.
Time will tell how long I will get out of the tire..Stock was replaced at 5800 miles..:banghead:

Put on more miles today and was very happy with the response the spyder had..Cornering was better. Less rode noise from the tire. You can tell its a bit stiffer design tire. Let some of the air out of the rear suspension.. Now time will tell how well it wears..:thumbup:

Next will be getting rid of the front Kendas..Don't like them..

The new Arachnid is great for handling but it doesn't last any longer than a Kenda does. So if you are looking for long tread life you will not get it from the Arachnid. If you are looking for a tire that handles as well as the Kenda then, yes, this will do it.

If I can get more than 5700 miles on the rear then I am headed in the right direction. As for handling just the rear alone made a difference..HOw many miles you put on a year?
Looks like you are on that:spyder2: a lot..:thumbup: I don't like the kenda tires..Junk IMO..

I have a full set of vee rubber tires on our 2011. Put them on a few months ago, got 5000, miles on so far. they are running great,and show very little ware. I'm very pleased with them so far,and they cost was less then the kendas.
