NEED Square SLICK tire for rear E-trike for DRIFT!!!

[Doctorbass]

Here is the problem i have :

The rear tire iof a trike only use on a little portion of the surface .. and dont offer enough surface... so i need Big Square Profile Slick
more flat surface on the pavement.. and better thickness of rubber!


Since a trike reat tire is mostly used only on the one flat angle, i am looking for a 20" tire ( or 16" motorcycle tire) tire that is like square shape.

The problem i have with standard round tire is that thei sont last wnough when i make drift with my KMX... so i'm looking for a tire that is thick and that is really flat surface on the pavement to mazimixe the area of surface.

Inflating a standard round tire dont really work well.. so i must find a tire that is more like this:

or better... Best would be 20 x 3.0 slick


Here is some exemple of what i'm looking.. that i found over the internet:

Looks like you found one. Try it!

A 16" moped tire will fit the 20" bike rim and will have much more substantial sidewall construction for drifting. I run the 17" Michelin Gazelle but only found this in a quick online search: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/5/32/404/30774/ITEM/IRC-NR-21-Rear-Universal-Moped-Tire.aspx

You need these tires. They are made for horse buggies, but will fit bike rims. A lot of folks over on ratrodbikes.com are using them for custom builds.

See if any of these tires look like they might fit the bill - http://www.choppersus.com/store/category/3/16/Tires/

I wasn't able to tell by the pictures if any have a "perfectly" flat profile, but they do look more flat than a standard tire, one even goes up to 4.25" wide which seems HUGE.
