    I have fast trekkers and they seem to do the trick, 18x9.5x8. I use them for mx and I can do some wicked slides and they hook up good going straight.

    my trikes:
    1983 honda atc 200x-k&n filter
    2002 yamaha raptor 660r, yoshimura slip on, prm grab bars
    1978 chevy nova, 454 v8, bds blower, 150hp shot of nitrous, full roll cage, a real power house.
    1991 chevy s10 4x4 350v8.
    1986 250sx

    I would think the 250r has enough power to slide and spin any tire really. Most like the turf tamers and holeshots, razr's... I would think anything with a low profile would work good.

    Personally I like the 20x10x9 stockers. They hook up fairly good and slide good as well. You can still buy them from Honda for around 50 bucks a piece.

    Best bet: Duro HF245's . Second best: Kenda Dirt dogs. They are a Wooly Booger style with a very flat profile. Slide very well with great forward bite. denniskirk.com Almost forgot, check out the Duro asphalt tires. Those look awesome!!! Having tires that slide well make a trike much easier to turn !!!!!!

    For sliding on grass I promose to you that you wont find a better tire than the Hoosier small crossblocks. I can sit there on grass spinning them forever. And on dirt they hook up better than any tire ive ever ran (and ive used every tire mentions so far)

    Ok

    I Have The Fast Trekkers On My R. Great Tire But They Are More Aggressive Than I Though. Thosethings Hook. I Have Turf Tammers For Both My R's. Theyspin Or Grab When You Want Them To. Im Sure Holeshots Are Very Simular.
