 Rear Tire / Slingshot Owners...
THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT A SLINGSHOT !
I know we have had many tire posts BUT... here is a different twist on the rear tire:
I know there are a few Slingshot Owners on here or maybe you have a friend.
What rear tire does the Slingshot Use as far as size and brand ?
(SS Site: stock tire from factory is a Kenda799 265/35R18)
It may be too early to even change a rear tire on a SS (as they are so new to the market)...but if so....what are you using ?
I was thinking about compatibility with the Spyder

PLUS: Some have no good Spyder Dealer near where they live. My Motorcycle Dealer of many years with good mechanics....just started selling Slingshots.....and it came to me that maybe when I need new tires...that they can mount and install them for me too.
So I think this may be beneficial info. for us Spyder dudes and dudettes !  
It would be benificisl if you called your new dealer and asked if they will install car tire On a spyder.. If so publish the dealers name and phone number. I called one sling shot dealer here weeks ago will not work on spyders at all.
I think a sling shot tire would be a better fit for a truck then a spyder.

Maybe let it sit here for a while, and see if it gathers any interest...

Even if tires/oil have been beaten to death, there is/can be something new somewhere that the outlier has stumbled across. If your mind is closed to anything new, just don't post your distaste.

The post to which you refer IS about Spyders. He is looking at options for the rear tire on his Spyder and thought the Slingshot people might have a recommendation. Good grief - I so tire of people who get their panties in a wad because they think their precious forum is going to be corrupted.

The tires are made by our favorite manufacturer: Kenda. They are 265/35R18. A curiosity conversation last winter revealed they are custom made for the S $#\h%t and sell for over $300/each. Based on the tire dimensions they would stand 24.75" tall. The standard Kenda for our Spyders, 225/50x15, would be 23.8". Regardless of the wear, one would need a new rim. On top of that the nanny wouldn't care for the significantly larger tire.
