    Best Tire Options for the Polaris Slingshot?

    depends on how wide he chooses to go. I think the widest I have heard of on anyone's sling is 345.

    Best Tire Options for the Polaris Slingshot?

    On an SLR wheel...looks like 305 is the max.

    Best Tire Options for the Polaris Slingshot?

    Ok, I was pulling up info based on the tire size since I couldn't find actual wheel size. Sorry for the misinformation.

    Best Tire Options for the Polaris Slingshot?

    depends a lot on manufacturer of the tire and where the bead of the shoulder lines up to the wheel. I believe the SLR has a 12" wide wheel. Going to 315 is probably really easy to do. 325 is doable but it depends on tire.

    Best Tire Options for the Polaris Slingshot?

    The Nitto 555R G2 is a really popular option. Also look in to the BF Goodrich Comp 2. Seems like those are the ones that are the most popular. I have seen some people really really love the Toyo Proxes R888 but those are being discontinued. I also don't know if they make them in the 305/30...

    Best Tire Options for the Polaris Slingshot?

    I currently have a Firestone Indy 500 Wide Oval 255 on an SL wheel. It was an ok tire for the last 5K miles...but traction is starting to be an issue that that I am about half way through it. I will probably look in to going with the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 for my next tire. As far as the...

    Best Tire Options for the Polaris Slingshot?

    I am getting ready to order the QA1 from Hahn. Bang for the buck they are hard to beat. I can imagine that the JRi's are as good, maybe better...but is it going to be almost 3 times better? I have a hard time believing that.

    Twist Dynamics Carbon Fiber 56" Rear Wing / Spoiler for the Polaris Slingshot

    I think the Alpha one was the best looking of the bunch, but those are near impossible to get your hands on. I would say that this one is a little thicker as far as the over all size, and it's not quite as wide but it does really look great on the Slingshot.

    Best Tire Options for the Polaris Slingshot?

    I'd say you really want to invest in Suspension then a rear tire. I only say this because if you are able to soften up the rear your 305 on the SLR should be able to hook up pretty well. The factory suspension isn't great by any means. Seems like a lot of people forget that suspension is an...

    Twist Dynamics Carbon Fiber 56" Rear Wing / Spoiler for the Polaris Slingshot

    Saw it at SSITR this year. Looks great. Actually on my list of mods after I get suspension and the new Hahn Intake manifold with Port Fueler.

    2018 Polaris Slingshot

    From a business stand point it makes sense. They might actually be able to bounce back from some of their recalls, some of their business moves, and be able to make more time now that they have squared things away from the defense contract they won last year. There is a part of me that was...

    2018 Polaris Slingshot

    It's all steps in the right direction...but reality is...that is a ton of money for not a lot of oomph. My base 2016 model with all the goodies I have added has come up to a total of $27-28K. Only thing I have left is suspension. and that won't be more than another $2k. $31K for an SLR LE is...

    2018 Polaris Slingshot

    Pretty underwhelming all in all. I have seen those color combos on a few current slingshots. The Ride commander is way over priced. Adding more letters to make the SLR LE didn't change that it was just an SLR with a higher price tag. Ultimately I know most of the SS community won't be happy...
