Just wondering. I bought a set of Fast Trekkers and they look amazing but I bought wheels too wide so im debating getting wider tires that fit (kenda Klaw).
What Tires are you guys running on your sport trikes? Pics and Sizes would be nice :D

The 18" trekkers are fun, Lots of high speed sliding around corners with em.

I got 20x11 maxxis razrs, they work well.
I always like to run a 20" Holeshot type tire. I had Old School 20x11x9 Shredders back in the day and I don't know if they even make them anymore. They were the sport tire prior to the holeshot.

ok that Tecate has a sexy @$$ for having 18's on it.
The tires I bought are Fast Trekker's in a 20x10x10 and I have a new set of 10x10 douglas wheels but obviously they dont fit together. Still debating on if I just dump the tires and get a set of kenda Klaw 20x11x10 tires since titan doesnt make any fast trekkers in a 20x11x10 tire. I know i can get 22's and 18's in that width BUT NOT 20 tires though lol

I've got a set of 18" Fast Trekkers in 8" and 10" and haven't used them yet. The deal was too good to pass up. I've always used 18" Turf Tamers and Turf Savers
I ran these all over California in 18" 16th birthday present from DICO. They didn't have polished or raw aluminum.. I didn't want to wait so I ended up with gold wheels for the Tecate.. :D

20" Hole shots and an R original Ohtsu front.
I'd like a set of Hole shots for an 18" rims for MX riding.....
My 20" HS heavy duty on my old 350X seem indestructible; But, they are double the weight.....

JasonB, if your interested I'm looking for a set of 10x10 wheels. I have 2 barely used Douglas red label .190, 10x8's in as best shape a used wheel can be in. I would be willing to send them to you and pay the difference on the 10x10 wheel price and shipping. Let me know if your interested.

You R looks mean with those wheels/tires! Those wheels sound and look to be what I need if I want to use the fast trekkers I have! the 10x10's I have are already powder coated black though, they are mint unused too. I may be interested in this swap, but im considering buying kenda klaws in a 20x11x10 tire that will fit these wheels. I just cant decide lol

Eddie, im looking at new kenda klaws and I really would prefer to run the Titan Fast Trekers I already have. If your interested we can talk about an exchange. I spent 45$ to have the wheels powdercoated black ontop of the initial cost to purchase them, they look fantastic. I dont know if you want black wheels but they are douglass pro alumnium wheels, forgot the label but I want to say .190

What type of riding are you doing? Thats the HUGE question, I probably have 20 sets of tires currently, and probably tried nearly 50 different tires/sizes. (and when u getting that pipe on the bike.... im itching to see it)

im doing some all aorund riding honestly. I will be drag racing at trikefest just for fun. I will be doing alot of hill climbing and cruising around the local places. And doing the sand drags at the local drag strip here.
The pipe and my new 39pwk are being put on the bike tonight, I should have some shots up of everything this weekend after I wipe the bike down. Its got gold rims and 20" hole shots on it now, hate em! wont hold air for anything lol

Sorry for the crappy pic, loaded up and about to go hit the track. I'm runnin 18x10x8 Holeshot sx. I love em. I tried the same size in a Razr last year and hated em compared to the Holeshot.

I use a set of OEM 450r tires out back. (The first type they used, not what currently comes on a new 450r).
Bit of a rounded shoulder for predictable sliding, good forward bite for most of what I ride on. Overall I really like how they work.
On front I'm running a Dunlop OEM look-alike.

If anyone wants the wheels I have them listed for sale in the classifieds section, 100$ shipped.
I bought a set of 10x8" ITP black baja wheels on eBay, dont need the 10x10's now :D I will throw some shots up of the new wheels with the 20" fast trekkers when I mount them
