This tire, Kumho Ecsta, was used on my 2016 Can-Am Spyder trike. It has lasted over 20,000 miles and I have no complaints. Handling in rain, snow, and gravel was outstanding. I recommend this tire to others that own Spyders because of it's reliability and price. I have already bought my forth tire from SimpleTire and will highly recommend them for your tire needs.

I know...I know...BRP doesn't recommend putting anything but Kenda tires on the Can Am Spyders. Those tires just don't match the ride, quality and wearability of the Kuhmos. I have put over 1000 miles on this tire and am SOLD on what's going to be on my Spyder from now on!
