Time to replace this tire?

[sledge]

neither one , my wife bought me a complete set , for Christmas , I have not started taking the wheels off yet , but they sure look Impressive . and they should last for years . we all know the difference in Motor Cycle Tires....and Car Tires ... 10,000 miles will wear most motor cycle tires completely out , and a car tire same size will last at least 40,000 miles . motor cycle tires are softer rubber so they will stick in a turn better , but a trike don't lean into a turn , so they don't really need the softer tires .

So ,, what Brand Tire did you get? You've got my attention ? They STILL NEED TO STICK!

Just turned 12k miles on these OEM tires. I have noticed a little more action on some surfaces with the rear end, wanted feedback from submitted photos if it's time to replace. Is this wear pattern the usual?

Replace rear tire!

Questionable, 225/50R15 in a Good Year brand ? They may make that size, but I don't believe it is something you want to put on your Spyder. Check in with Mike ,"The Blue Knight", He will get you on the right path too car spools.

opcorn: You are the first person taking about 'Goodyear' tires. I will wait and see how it goes for you.
Please keep us posted on your progress.

Good Luck with Your Mission. ....:thumbup:

You need to double check what tire you really have. No Goodyears in the 225/50R15 size come up in a search. In fact there are only about a half dozen car tires in that size on the market, most probably not suitable for the Spyder.
