Three Wheelin'
Hi Van, great site, thanks!
I wrote a spreadsheet a few years back that did something similar and will calculate actual vertical tyre loads for any longitudinal/lateral g-loading. Very instructive! It was also useful when developing a high-performance 3-wheeler I had some involvement with.
Polar moment of inertia is something that also needs to be considered in tuning the optimum geometric/elastic weight transfer. Unfortunately not all the parameters are easily changed…
Cheers,
Mike

It took a while... but all the parts finally came in. I've booked the following week at my shop to have it all put in.

I'll be able to give an update in about 1-month. I'm also moving to 16" Toyo R888 tires (225/50 and 245/45) as part of this work. Still mulling over the alignment settings...
