i just got a yamaha 3 wheeler (i think it's a 200) and am wondering if i put a shorter tire...say 18x11x8 on it will it help with the "rollover" feeling? it's not running yet (barn find) but as a kid i remember them feeling kind of float-ey.http://www.3wheelerworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11581&d=1116843468 it kinda looks like this one, except it's blue. (can't figure out how to insert my own image..lol)

VERY nice score.

I would look for a tire that has a flat profile when aired up. I had better luck with a little shorter, flatter profile on the tread in a 20" diameter to cut down on lateral "roll". 18's are ok, but I didn't like them on trails, it cuts down your ground clearance too, and you lose a little top speed unless you change sprocket sizes

What part of Indiana? I'm a former Hoosier myself
