I bought the following tire off amazon. I must say, they are amazng. They double each tire up and shove it in a bag. They are very out of shape when ya get them outta the plastic. I wrestled the tube on rim(it was a bit bigger that te rim ofcourse cuz its not inflated). Then i wrestled the tire into the rim making sure to keep the tube inbetween the tire. Then i pumped it up and it works like a charm. These tires along with the thorn resistant thick slime tubes, are awesome. I can lean into turns at 45-55 degree angle and still have solid traction. My new top speed is 34mph. I only put the rear on since i have a friction drive and i wanted to test it out with just one on. My front quick release nut is glued onto the skewer so, i'll probably end up taking a hacksaw to get it off. I bought some new skewers anyway. Here's the link to the tires.

That tire design is nice for straight line, most def friction drive friendy, but it's street cornering looks awful.

Hope they work out well for ya! Please don't lean hard in the rain :D

. o O ( yes, that goes for any tire in the rain :D )
