Default New Wheels, trying to be economical

I currently am running 80A Hot Spots rear and 86A Zigs front on my TS board and I tried doing some hybrid slalom and I was drifting all over the place on my 83A 4Presidents. I'm wondering if I should get a set of split Lime/Lemon Zigs on my HS/GS board and leaving the Hot Spots/Zigs on my TS board, unless I should switch it around. My other idea is buying a whole set of Lemons and putting them in the back of my 86A setup and in the front of my 80A setup. What do y'all think?

lime b-zigs back, orange b-zigs front. Best ever. And if that doesnt help lean on the back of the board more.

shift your weight

80a is plenty grippy

you're probably leaning too far forward

plant that rear foot over the rear truck and put some of your weight on it

I know 80A is grippy enough, I said I liked the 80A/86A setup. Y'all are makin' me out to be a noob! 8) I was saying I wanted to replace my 83A 4Presidents. I'm gonna go with split orange-lime Zigs methinks.
