Vredestein for front - what size do I need?

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Installed on my 2013 Spyder RT: The 175-55 is just a tick taller and wider than the 165-55 and DOES NOT INTERFERE with the fenders. Got mine at Tire Rack for $113 - free shipping with Two Year Road Hazard included at no charge. Told them it was for a 2015 Mits Mirage since you have to provide that information. They've no idea what a Can Am is.

I have bought many sets of tires on Tire Rack ..... They always ask what veh. they are going on ...... and I have Never told them anything about the veh...... and they still sold me what I ordered..... PS, I also never ask them what I should buy ...... Mike :thumbup:

Some Tire selection Facts ..... all tires on the same axle (or end) should Always be the same .... size, brand and Tread .... So in the case of Spyders, the fronts MUST match but anything that fits can go on the rear. ..... If using Auto tires, tire science has determined that 15-17 psi front .... & 17-19psi on the rear is what works best ..... adjust (within those PSI's) for other than normal loads & driving style. .....

We have found that the slightly wider 175/55r15 size works well on all the 2014-2019 Spyders. There is a bit less room on the 2020+ machines and a bit tighter for the 175/55r15 size. It is still doable, but virtually no wiggle room left. The 165/60r15 is slightly taller than the OEM 165/55r15 (as is the 175/55r15). But is the same width as OEM. The taller size does not create any issues.

I changed front wheels on my 2008 GS from the 14's to F3 Blade 15's. Not only do they look GREAT! But it opens up a much better front tire selection. If you're interested in new OEM wheels, let me know. You might be able to find some good used ones as well. All the OEM wheels will fit your 2008-2012 Spyder.

For the tire gurus
I have a 2016 F3 limited, I'm in South TX where we have extreme heat. I'm an aggressive rider & ride 95% of the time at high speeds. I was having some issues (all of a sudden) & noticed all my weights have come off my tires. Had them balanced with balancing beads. It helped a bit but pretty much having the same issue, as if still unbalanced (shaking, bouncing feeling etc) so will be checking belt tension today. I don't see any of that in the fenders etc, just in the mirrors & under me. I bought my bike almost 2 yrs ago & the tires looked practically new, Kenda on the front, not sure what the rear is. I'm assuming typical stock. I'm thinking my issue is my tires - they're about 3 yrs old according to their date stamp. My question is, what size car tires are recommended? Also, traction sucks when I've gotten caught in rain...
