There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Sorry you are getting bullied for asking a simple question.......
My stock Kenda on my Slingshot is just about toast at 4500 miles. The Kenda's are much worse on the Slingshot than the Spyder because it's so light in the rear.. I'm going to try to make it last until the spring and will be replacing it with a car tire.
ps....... Keep in mind, the higher end SL model Slingshot runs bigger tires than the base model. :thumbup:
Randy,
Does Holly still get to wear her "special riding gear", while riding in the converti... errr... SlingShot?

I dont get you guys.....
This was NOT a post about SlingShots ! And I DONT believe this topic has been covered before either ! :banghead:
The post was potential tire options based on what the Slingshots may be using as some Spyder owners are finding dealers that charge too damn much or refuse to install or mount car tires on our Spyders.
It also was a post to maybe make some of us think that possibly a Slingshot dealership would mount our tires for us, maybe even install it.... since it appears a fair amount of Spyder dealers are not.
We should not and I thought were not suppose to redicule posts even if they were repetitive in nature.....and I dont believe this one was. With NEW members constantly joining this site, not all questions answered with specifics and a search function that does not always find applicable posts......you are going to get repetitive posts and I think we all need to politelyget use to it ! :clap::thumbup:
If you dont like a post............then why make any comment to it at all ! :gaah:
great post. I could not have said it better myself.... the post was about tires - not slingshots! duh???

I checked with my former 2 wheel motorcycle dealer who I have confidence in and in their mechanics. They now sell Slingshots besides 2 wheelers. They WILL install any tire I want on my Spyder.
I brought up this post because of this....figuring SS dealers would have the appropriate tools etc. and may be willing to help us too. I just happened to see a rear shot photo of a SS tire....and it looked so similar to ours I was curious if they were having the same problem as some of us.
Again, some on this site have commented that they are getting crap from some dealers on tire installs that are not OEM. Maybe this will be an option for some.

I would suggest that you check out a SlingShot forum, and see what the scuttlebutt is about tires... :thumbup:
Here's one that's worth a peek...

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.

You are 100% right on correct. The ones who are throwing a temper tantrum about your thread can take a chill pill.
