Having been a Spyder owner for years, I noted that the Slingshot uses pretty much the same tires and belt.
1. The belt drive on the Spyder is NOT rock road friendly! That big rear meat tosses rocks into the belt, and that's at least a $400 repair!!!! Pay close attention to the provided belt protection (I have yet to actually see a Slingshot).
2. The tires on Spyders rarely last more than 5 to 8,000 miles. There are several car tires that have been used successfully on Spyders, and should work on the Slingshot as well.
