what I have found for going on 3 years now is a 295 45 18 tire at about 15 to 18 psi.
I have run MTs, Nitto, and now Kumo which I like the best. Running a 20 or 22 rim makes for a smaller sidewall that does not seem to flex enough to get grip.
I have 350hp at the rear wheel.
....what is, the best, super charger, tire out there?
They all seem to use the same style - BALD!!!

Lol...I'm getting used to BALD!!! LoL
Those the new ones??????????????
Sure is. I wanted mine to look like Kyle's from ZZP does
Looks like someone is running too much air pressure
....and I don't think I will get that bald!... LoL
Bald Eagle May Pops!
I haven't run those since I was a teenager!
Be wary of the optional low air indicator...
Round on the top, flat on the bottom. 
The future!
Update on my unfortunate experience with Pep Boys and my original Achilles ATR SPort 2 305/30R18 tire mounting experience. See Posts # 671, 674 & 711 for background info.
I had emailed Pep Boys corporate about my disappointing experience and a couple weeks later received a request for any additional info I wished to submit. I started prepping an answer, but forgot to actually send it back to Pep Boys (something that seems to be happening more often than I'd like). I discovered the draft email in my Drafts folder a few days ago and sent it to Pep Boys apologizing for not having responded sooner. A day or so later, I received a response saying I should soon hear from my local Pep Boys store and the General Manager called me today to verify the info he had. He then offered to replace my tire, saying that while the store is not admitting any responsibility, he felt the $100 cost of the tire was not worth generating any ill-will. With luck, I should have the new tire in about 1 week or so. I'd like to state that Pep Boys is again back in my good graces. The brake job I got there just before the tire incident seems to be working well and was very reasonably priced with a nice rebate, too.

Are you kin to Paul Harvey? jk jk
for those of us using dark theme which tend to be the majority of people who use mobile devices since it saves battery, your dark font is unreadable....

I just highlight his text, then I can read it, or quote it
I composed my post and then copied it to post it here. Evidently, any dark text must have occurred as a result of the composing/copying process and was not intended. The text looked relatively normal to me. Here is a repost -

Did the repost come out any better or is it still dark? It looks OK to me, but let me know so I can avoid problems int he future.
Oh, as far as I know,I have no relation to Paul Harvey. I had posted unfavorably about my experience at Pep Boys, but since they took action to address my situation, I felt it only fair to let folks know.
I had an incident several years ago with a national pet store and sick animals we adopted from 2 of their stores.
I’m sworn to secrecy but suffice to say I didn’t mess with the local stores I went straight to corporate......in no uncertain terms I provided facts and evidence and told them the course of action I would be taking in 2 weeks. I demanded financial compensation for the medical bills which were over $2500. All my other animals got sick from them requiring extensive treatment and medication twice because they were adopted a year apart. I could have easily lost all of them...hence my level of anger. I didn’t connect the dots until after the second adoption...
Their lawyers must have read that info package and told them to cut a check really fast. I got my full money back. I think they quickly got the gist of what was about to come down upon them.
First I meant every word of the actions I was about to take which involved newspaper, TV and actually sitting in a chair in front of their store.
I feel my info package was concise and professional and was addressed directly to the CEO at the corporate HQ. I didn’t use any foul language. I just presented my case and what I needed to “go away”.
They told my I didn’t need to go that route it could have been handled locally.... I say BS....I didn’t feel like going through the hassle that would have followed. I got their attention and a satisfactory resolution without having to flip out on some local numbskulls which would have only pissed me off.
I would not hesitate to do it this way again....I go right to the top. Remember the buck stops with them. They don’t want any unnecessary bad press. I made the noise and my wheel was greased.
Don’t be this guy
We need to remember that all these tire stats and reviews are on 4 wheel vehicles...
So while the reviews can be a decent guideline (for a car or truck) not so much for a slingshot....traction wet and dry, mileage and wear pretty much go out the window.
None of us drives the same. Some are putting way more power down than others. Different road conditions from state to state. I put on my 3rd rear tire and second fronts at 12,500 miles...no where on any review are you going to see these stats.
The SS wasn’t designed to be driven in the rain, no matter what tire you use.
I disagree about the Slingshot not being designed for rain. It's the three-wheel equivalent to a Tilt-A-Whirl carny ride!

I will agree that the rear is never going to wear like it would on a car, but I see no reason why my front tires should get any worse wear than they would on a car if it were driven the same under the same conditions.
