Play around with different tire pressures all around, kind of like ghetto suspension tuning  .

We are in fact using a 4 wheel drive system.
The problem with letting air out of the tires is that the tires get pinched by the rim when we turn. This will lead to flat tires, and maybe even the mysterious phenomenon of the inner tube coming out completely and becoming entangled with the chain and sprocket, which happened today. So right now our only choice is to increase the psi... and bounce ALOT. So if there is any other way to fix this problem without letting air out of the tires, it would be ideal. If not, I guess... oh well.
But thank you for your advice anyways... it is much appreciated.
