ARACHNID TIRES by VEE RUBBER Here is 2 stories from Motorcycle Justice about putting car tires on a Motorcycle Click here: For both tire stories Vee Rubbers latest addition to its performance family of tires is the Arachnid, designed exclusively for the Spyder. The Arachnid tire is constructed with a specific compound, construction and weight-carrying capacity to enhance the ride and performance on the Spyder. Specially designed for wet and dry environment They have two plies of steel in the tread pack to both provide puncture resistance as well as to combat centrifugal growth of the center of the tread. Outstanding straight line performance for acceleration and braking Heavy duty construction for the additional weight and 2-up riding Newly formulated compound for Spyders for exceptional mileage Vee Rubber Spyder tires now available to non O.E. dealers Quality tires very reasonably priced 3/10/16 NEW INFO from the enginers at Vee Rubber The "Touring" V35004 version was redesigned to handle much more of a load (almost 1,000 lbs.) and control sidewall flex under those same loads. Sidewall flex was our main concern with the standard Arachnid being used on the RT's. More than anything is to check air pressure before every ride to get the most service from any Spyder tire. Super critical. Just a little low and the edges wear. The main difference between the standard Arachnid rear tire ( V35002) and the "Touring" Arachnid rear tire (V35004) is the change in construction to achieve an 80 load rating (992 lbs.) Kenda has a 76 load rating (882 lbs.). We also add some margin to our tires by at least +15% just for good measure. To achieve a stronger higher load rated tire, Vee choose higher (more threads per inch) denier count ply material for extra strength and lighter weight. The other method is to add rubber material which adds excess weight. All other ratings are same. The ply ratings are Thread area = 1 polyester- 2 - steel- 1 nylon Sidewall = 1 polyester Tread wear = 500 Traction = A Temp = A To understand ratings better: check out http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTreadwear.do Okay the number VTR 350 refers to ALL ARACHNID TIRES and many websites out there are tricking you.
