I went with KR20 and a Kumho Ecsta, pretty happy so far after ~200 miles of riding.
All three needed very little weight to balance out. My old setup was likely out of balance somewhere because vibrations I experienced before are now gone.
In my case the new tires, brakes, and drive belt adjustment make it feel like new again...almost.
Steering is definitely lighter and I dare say more precise, 16 psi front, 18 psi rear.
Well, I pulled the trigger.Quote:

What a different ride over the stock tires, very smooth and it sticks like glue. For me, I'm so happy with the ride now; it stays where I put it, no drifting in the corners like the understeering of the stock tires. Thank you Derick.
Is Netzley a can Am Spyder dealer? If so, might want to not name them out...Quote:

I'm needing a new rear tire and while I'm at it, going to replace the rear brake pads. Just wanted to check with anyone who has used the Vredestein Quatrac tires to make sure I have the correct size and any opinions or advice. Probably going to order new front tires too.

Dave, if you type “Quatrac” into the search bar, you will find every bit of info you need, plus more, about the Quatrac:thumbup:

Those in the LINK are both the correct sizes ..... However instead of the Quatrac rear tire I got ( from tire rack ) the RIKEN Raptor HR in 215/60-15 IHMO ( it's rating ) is just hair less than the Quatrac .... and it's only $ 80.00 ....I have mine for 9000 +mi. and love it. .... So have others here that had tried it .....good luck ..Mike :thumbup:Quote:

My Spyder is our two up touring rig and I ride it pretty aggressively so I am happy with that mileage. I will be replacing it with the Altimax RT45. I am well pleased with the performance of the General tires both in the dry and especially in the wet. I have been through some frog stranglers with that tire and I had no issues whatsoever. I had a set of Federals On the front and I was very pleased with them. I had 50,000 miles on them and they were showing minimal wear. The only reason I changed them was because of their age as I felt they were starting to get hard and that means loss of traction. I couldn't replace him with the Federals because I couldn't find any. My local tire shop was having a very good price on the Continental ContiPro contacts so I put a set of those on. I have only had about 1000 miles on them so far and a few wet roads but no heavy rain. So far I am happy with their performance.Quote:
