Howdy,
The simplest solution is to ditch the x-wide front tire in favor of a rounded shoulder, treaded 4.80x4 tire.
If your front fork follows the PL tradition of angle, the tire rolls up on its shoulder when turning.
Having a wide, flat profile tire in front removes most of the tire from contact in the turn.
X-wide tires give most benefit as added traction in the rear without the bulk of an x-wide axle.
Running on grass or on the beach?
Leaning forward in the turns shifts center of balance forward helping the front tire to grip.
Safen Up! Buggy On!
