    Well he said they had equal tire pressure. If he gives the right side a shot of air and that fixes the problem of it pulling to one side he still has the problem of a stretched tire. On top of that he now has unequal pressure in the tires. Either way something's not right.

    I adopted the KISS formula for repairs. I put the right tire to 7psi & left dropped to 4.5 and yes it goes straighter but not straight yet. I haven't had time to measure the tires yet but I will. I have noticed on my other trike (a 250es) it has an indent that it sort of falls into when the steering bar is in the center position. The 200es doesn't do that,should it?

    Thanks to everybody for your replies.

    nope they do not.

    it is tire pressure as mentioned. it looks like at some time in it's life someone pumped a crap load of tire pressure on the left tire and over inflated it and as mentioned despite pressures being the same, the left tire is taller. so that means you need to let more air out of the left side take it down to 4lbs or even 3.5lbs and see what happens. but you defiantly have a tire "size" issue. jsut visually it can be seen w/o a doubt.

    did you try a quick swap of the tires? i think that would confirm/bust our is-it-the-tires problem 100%
