What did you do to your Spyder today?

Hi @dpetrick,

What brand of tire did you install on your Spyder?

I still have the OEM tires on my Spyder. I hope to get a set of new tires, maybe next year.

The wear bars on the OEM tires look OK for now.

My Spyder is still on the battery maintainer, waiting for warmer weather here in Vermont.

You might want to look at the new XPS branded Kendas. My new S2S came with them on and they are a pretty decent upgrade from previous OEM fitments. They run quieter, grip a bit better though still have the same nice gradual breakaway, have stiffer sidewalls and the wet grip is an order of magnitude better. The tread blocks are deeper so they might even last longer (BRP says they will).

Just overall a better quality of tire I think. My local service department said as they run out of the older Kendas and Kanines they will start fitting these new XPS branded Kendas to older machines as well.

I've no idea how they are priced compared with the original OEM Kendas but if they are anywhere close to the same amount of money I know which way I would go.
