my tire guy called me back today....he recommends either of these tires for the back of the SS.

He said he talked to several people about these tires...said they would give the best grip for the rear...
I’m probably going to try the hancock one....
the toya comes stock on the New 800 hp Jeep. There would have to be a pretty good reason for that.

They both look pretty good, but neither of them appear to come in the 305 that I would need.
this is from the slingshot help center......something I didn’t know...look when they recommend changing the back tire...
This is why I want the deepest tread in a tire I can get....if you use our factory tire that has 8/32” of tread brand new....after you rub off 3/32” it’s time to change it....
Or 345/25/20
Just ordered 2 Hankook evo tires 20” with road hazard coverage $408.48 with tax and my 10 % discount. That doesn’t count mounting and balancing.

what size tires? and are you running 20's on the front or did you just buy 2 to have a backup for the rear?

255/35/20....stock rear size
with me averaging 5-6000 miles per rear tire....I ordered/ bought 2.....I have an extra set of rims...
I believe running larger than stock especially on the rear is putting undue Stress on the angle drive...the bigger the tire the more it weights....

interesting - I didnt know the Hankook was that expensive - - the stock size NITTO 555 G2 I just bought for the rear was $144
I don’t know if it has to do with a softer compound or what but I remember years ago eagle GTs were very expensive. They were a soft compound. All we can do is try different tires to see which we like the best. I’m running all Hankook tires on my vehicles right now.

he just told me the my price for 2 tires and I really don’t know if that meant the mounting and balancing or not...
I’ve been buying there since 1972ish...
so I just noticed this and now I’m not real happy.....
there are two different models of the tires.... Now I don’t know which he ordered...the original guy I dealt with was off....

yes - I did notice that there was an EVO2 and an EVO - - dont know what the difference is but on discount tire direct only the EVO2 came up when I searched for the 255 20 35 tire size and when I followed you link for the hankook on tire rack it said that tire was not available in a 255 20 35
I wish companies would not make tires with names so close to each other - like the NITTO 555 & NITTO 555G2 - - I realize that the 2 was an upgraded new version, but some places were still selling the original for some time and had both
oh and just as a side note I like that my NITTO 555G2 says right on the side "Made in the U.S.A."
who would have guessed .....
I was looking at the first one.....I’ll probably get the second one....
I just bought the Riken Raptor ZR for the rear from Tire Rack and so far I am very pleased with it, grips a lot better than my Nitto's did

I took the new Tire out for a test spin and holy crap... I thought the front wheels were going to come off the ground. Boy does that tire bite. I just found my new tires.
