Rear tire mileage - How are you people getting 10,000 + miles on Kenda tires?

If you are talking about Kenda's, respectfully, please don't!
I had Vredesteins on two Spyders, 100 percent better ryde than the Kendas! ESPECIALLY in the rain!

Just got a 2023 Spyder RT in April and I now have 7000 miles on the original rear tire. Can you get the original size in a Vredesteins tire or must you settle for a size difference? Thanks! Ken

You will have to go with a different size. OEM rear size is extremely rare. It would help if BRP went to a 16 or 17 inch rear. But I'm thinking they want to keep people coming back for their Kendas. A captive audience, if you will.

General Tire Altimax RT45 215/60R15 works well. On Amazon for $125.99. No need to balance it. I have put three on different trikes, and one RT43 on my first trike. Will go 30K or more miles.​

My OEM gave me almost 7,000 mi and Kanine 7,000. They wear in the center. I have lowered the pressure to 24psi, now to 22-23.
I do not hot rod. Almost all of my mileage is highway, solo, but loaded for touring.

I want to go to a car tire but mounting is an issue.

I might add, $450 for a tire and mounting and only get 7,000 miles is outrageous.

So far I have 10,000 miles with plenty of tread left. I keep the rear inflated to the manufactures specs.

I still have the OEM tires on my 2023 F3 LTD SS and I have 10,000 + miles on them. The treads are very close to the wear bars on the OEM tires. At some point this winter or next year, I will be getting new tires all around.

I know that the XPS tires won;t fit on my Spyder.

They won't fit your Spyder? The XPS branded Kendas are 165/55R15 front and 225/50R15 rear, which I thought was the size for your F3?

I didn't think the dimensions of the Spyder wheels had changed since the move from 14" to 15" rims? I might be wrong but people seem to interchange wheels between later model Spyders all the time. I know my previous 2021 RT LTD has exactly the same size tires and my 2026 Sea to Sky.

I don't know about the F3 LTD Special though as I've never seen one, but as far as I've read they are the same size rims and my S2S?
