ok well some of you may have read a post I put out earlier this week regarding identifying a bent rim hub or axle. Via a process of elimination, I actually beleive I found the proble. I have a set of um wheel spacers and the wobblie side some how got distorted and doesn;t sit completely flat on the hub.
I hate to loose the width but for now think I will do away with the spacers as they were just kind of covering up my main problem. My big red has a set of cheng shin 828 knobbies. Everyone else that had or has these tires has seemed to be dissatisfied with them as well. I would like to try some new tires first and see if this fixes my problem. heres a pic of my present rear tires.

they only take 2pounds op pressure.
Ok so here is what I am looking for, I want to be able to get the trike to slide if posible with some body english and primarily loose the tippy feeling my big red had prior to the spacers. I'm thinking I want a square profile tire, I ma willing to go to a 22 inch tire if need be but would rather keep a 25 for gearing purposes. since the axle ratios of a bigred are almost identical to that of a 250sx I am hoping I can see some of the positive gains others have seen.
How about turf busters? please don;t life I can get them at a good price and I seem to see alot of three wheelers with these tires. 25-12-9
I am also thinking about carlise badlands, its kind of a hole shot knock off with a real square profile, or ???? looking for a cheap performer with a squarish profile. I do occasionally take the red through mud, but I can get through most things I want to with my present tire so, it doesn;t need to be much more aggresive.
