I've never watched your videos, first time seeing your channel. As a fellow spyder rider I just wanted to thank you for the uplifting words!! God bless you!!
Hello Brandon, thanks for taking time to watch, subscribe, and comment on my channel. I am humbled to know that you enjoy my content. Thank you for the support and Blessing that you wished upon me. I pray that you continue to watch and enjoy the channel 😇
When switching to car tires you need to verify the diameter and cross section width of the tires to make sure they match the OEM tires. Change in diameter will change your speedometer reading. Change in width can cause rubbing on the fenders if you go too wide. HIGHLY recommend a tire that evacuates water really well.
Lord bless this man as he spreads your word with kindness compassion generosity and love. Let this prayer reinforce his ring of angels. Thank you Jesus!
Well I thank you so much my brother. Thanks for watching, commenting, subscribing, and supporting my channel. May God forever Bless you and your household, in The Name of Jesus, Amen 🙏 😇🙏
Hello K. Smooth,Ghost here, I have a 2017 RTS,I have Federal on the front,and kumo on the rear. rides great,you will love the kumo on the rear,just a little stiffer. on turns
Hey Ghost, you are absolutely right. I have noticed the stiffness in sharp corners. I am loving my car tires. Thanks for the info and your support. Ride safe!
Ok vicjames2743. I pray that you enjoy it., which I know you will. Thank you for subscribing, liking, and commenting. Thanks again and have fun with your new Spyder 😇
Hey Steven, thanks for reaching out to me. That is a great tire, also it should hold up for a while with no problem. Thanks for sharing your info, be Blessed 😇
Going to Car Tyres makes perfect sense in my mind . ALL Sizes however MUST MATCH original size . Including Rolling Diameter . For the Front you would want SOFT Sports Tyres . Preferably Asymmetric and Directional . Rear a bit harder and , obviously , Symmetrical . The lack of weight of the Can-Am by comparison to a Car is a primary issue . Getting the Tyres to Operating Temp is more difficult . So SOFT is good .
@@RWKSD1 . You're welcome . BTW , by Soft I meant Soft Rubber Compound and Load rating . Not Air pressure . That , you need to work out by , " Feel " , and examining Wear Pattern . Wearing in the Middle is too hard and wearing at the Edges , too soft . A Learning Curve . If the Front-End feels solid and " Planted " and quite direct , without being Overly Heavy , you are pretty well " On the Money " . And the Rear needs to be about 4 psi higher , at a guess , being a Single Tyre . May Your God be with you .

Beautiful. Makes me want to dig Freedom out of the garage and take a ride. Supposed to reach 50° today. Been running the Kumho for about 4000 miles and love it AGtG. It was only a third of the cost and rated higher. Peace!
I loved your comments toward the end of the video. You hit the nail on the head. People need to get back to acknowledging God, having respect for themselves and others, and making a goal of doing at least one act of kindness per day. Well Said!
Thank you Kevin. Yes, it is the acts of kindness that we all need to share with each other. Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing to my TH-cam channel. God bless!
I don't know a thing about these bikes... I'm seriously thinking about getting one. So, what is the big deal about putting car tires on? I don't see why it would matter... thanks! Cheers! New sub here...
Hey my brother, thanks for your support. The thing about getting car tires , is they will last a lot longer, which will save you a ton of money, time, and effort. The front tires will last about four or five years, but the rear tire will only last for about 10 to maybe 15 thousand miles. Thanks for subscribing, liking, and commenting.
Sure I will send you the exact tire information. The front tires are Kenda Radial Komet Plus KR23 A size 165/55 R15 The rear tire is Kumho 225/50 R15 91H. I just ordered them from Amazon. I pray this will help. Be Blessed 😇
@@RWKSD1 we ran car tire on rear on our 15 models an only about get about 12k on the stock rear able to 9 to 10 we change the front to car tires at 25k cause they was cupping . we got 21model now had change the rear at 10k
What was that rear tire size again? And the dealership says it's ok to put on car tires? Strange because I asked my dealer to put on car tires for my '012 RT Limited and they won't recommend it for some strange reason about warranty stuff. Boy, I wish it were as nice by be as you have it by you for riding at this time of year. Safe travels.
It’s a Kumho 225/50 R15 91 H they recommended that tire because the Kenda was not in stock. Yes the weather is nice, it was 73 degrees today. I am planning on riding tomorrow.
Hi Purple on three! It was meant for RWKSD, yet, of you've done car tires on your Spyder, or are considering done it-by all means please contact Chris Caliente on TH-cam and let him know, I'm sure he'd gladly answer any questions you may have for him! Doug🏍️👍🐻🧸🤓
Thanks for the video, what were the model tires you put on the front ? Also, what tire pressures do you run on front & back with the car tires? Thanks again.
Hey John, no I don’t ride in the snow, because here in Mississippi we very seldom get snow. Therefore, I’ve never had the opportunity to do so. Thank you sir for watching, commenting, subscribing, and liking. Feel free to watch some of my other videos also. Be Blessed 😇
Yes ma’am, I heard a funny sounding sound the last few rides throughout the entire ride. I also know that I wasn’t going to take a chance of being stranded or being involved in an accident.
The Spyder already has car tires on it. I can't believe so many CanAm owners don't understand that the Spyder has car tires on it from the factory. You are so misinformed. You think you are going 'Dark Side" when in fact, you are just going to a better car tire. YOU CAN'T PUT MOTORCYCLE TIRES ON A SPYDER. 1. FRONT TIRES ... (15x5 J-wheel) I replaced the stock 165/55/R15 with an Ultra-High Performance All-Season in 175/55/R15 For optimum performance, try to look for a directional tire like the Hankook VENTUS V4 ES or the Yokohama Avid ENVigor or the Vredestein Quatrac.
2. REAR TIRE ... (15x7 J-wheel) I replaced the stock 225/50/R15 with an Ultra-High Performance All-Season in 205/60/R15 PLUS it almost corrected the speedo vs GPS error. The stock tire showed 63 MPH (+3) on the speedo over the GPS 60 MPH. NOW the speedo shows 60 MPH (sometimes 61) over the GPS at 60 MPH. For optimum performance, try to look for a directional tire like the Hankook VENTUS V4 ES or the Yokohama Avid ENVigor or the Vredestein Quatrac.🕷😎 Car tires change models from year to year so you will have to look around. Search for a "directional" tire. Kumho and Kenda tires have a UTQG (treadwear) of around 400. 🕷😎
Yes they are, I don’t have any problem with them, and I have ridden in all types of conditions. Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing. Be Blessed 😇

Hi we ran car tires on our 15 spyder with no problems . we planing on ride down to Biloxi this weekend
Yes riding dark side is no problem. We will be going to Clarksdale, MS this coming week end to Morgan Freeman club and then on to BB King museum.

How many miles do you expect to get out of your new rear tire? What are you thinking 🤔?
I really don’t know, but I pray that I will be able to get at least 20,000 miles.
@@RWKSD1 I hope you do also! I have been getting 15,000 out of the Kenda stock...hoping the Kanine does better
