Kenda KR20 Kanine Rear Tire (225/50R-15)

when I realized that my 2012 spyder had the original tires on it, I knew I had to get new. Doing 100 miles an hour on 13 year old tires would be stupid. I bought the bike with 6k miles on it, so the tires looked new...except for the rear. Apparently, previous owner did a lot of burnouts. So, I changed the tire myself, and save 600 bucks from the stealership. If you go to Utube university, you will find enough info to do it. Just make sure you have the proper tire irons. They need to be at least ten inches long, and strong enough not to bend. If you use screwdrivers, you will gouge your rims. Anyway, it went on, I spent alot of time lining up the belt correctly, so it tracked and stayed right in the center, and off we go. Noticed the difference in ride right away. We'll see how long it lasts. I did have to do one burnout to break in the tire, though, and get the preservative off the rubber.

First time install for the Kenda KR20 Kanine Rear Tire (225/50R-15).I've mounted many MC tires. I steer clear of cheap tires but this was remarkably low cost.This replaces the OEM rear tire on my wife's '21 RT LTD.Giving it 5 stars for ease of mounting on my Cycle Hill tire machine. This is a manual install, NO hydraulics.Balancing took 3.5ounces. OEM less than 1 ounce.Kanine is directional but surprisingly doesn't have direction arrows so watch the Sipes - Grooves.Tire handles well, Can't predict mileage.

Perfect fit and replace on Can Am Spyder f3,cost much less than from dealer for same tire.Very good quality

Handles better than the OEM rear tire.

I got this tire from Amazon. Took it the dealership, had it pull on. After a quick little burnout to get that "new tire oil" off the tread, I left the dealership in drizzling rain. Drove about 10 miles, and the bottom fell out. It rained SO HARD, you could literally SEE the water flowing across the road.I was getting soaked. Because, the rain was hitting me from the side. So, I couldn't get behind the windshield. SOOOOOOO, I just said to myself. "LET'S JUST GET HOME". With my lady following me, I just nailed it and headed home. Averaging 85-90 in a 60. My Thought, "It's either going to be good in the rain, or I'll end up in the woods".😂 When I tell you that this tire stuck like glue in the pouring rain. IT STUCK LIKE GLUE.It has proven itself in every condition that I have put in. Even high speeds 2 up.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tire.

If you do not have the tools to do this, I would not recommend this. You need a belt tensioner, and you need to watch several youtube videos on changing tires on the rear of can am motorcycles.

I like the tread design of this tire. Will have to put some miles on it before I can give it a 5 star rating.

Had this and the front put on my 2015 F3 Spyder, no issues, ride smooth and stable. Wear and tear remains to be seen.
