I am going to change my wheels from 225 x 15 to 295 x 15 does any body think this will cause the handling to change.

No.

I don't think it will cause the handling to change.

I KNOW it will cause the handling to change...

By definition.

I find the larger tyres more stable, just keep the pressures down.:thumbsu:

its not just the tyre size, its the wheel offset as well

and as blackjack says yes it will affect it, if its an irs backend then it will be worse effects than if it were a rigid one

Surely that depends on the aspect ratio, they might be the same height overall.

and as I presume that these are the rear wheels and most trike speedo are run from the front wheels, then it will make fack all difference :)

They might indeed, or they might not.

Well I have ordered them, dont know what to think after reading all that, the speedo is digital so that is easly fixed, have posted a pic to give you some idea what they are going on. so in a couple of monthes if some one wants some newlly powder coated jag wheels with new tyres on we can come to a arraingment.
