Fat front tire on a tri glide

[willk69]

i am sorry if this is a dumb question but i am a trike newbie. just had to switch to a trike due to knee problems.

so is there a problem with fat tire on the front of trikes? like a 180mm?

they ride great on two wheel bikes just wondering how it was and if it did anything to steering on a trike

I would think it would make it a little harder to steer at slower speeds.

Welcome to Trike Talk Will! Someone will answer your question. I would think the 130 size tire on the front of a Tri Glide would be plenty of tire.

I had a 2013 Sportster and it came with wide tires [anniversary edition] and it was a job to drop into slow speed maneuvers....Like pulling into a parking space , Or making a left turn from a stop through a intersection...:Shrug:....

+3 on the larger the patch the harder to turn....

My front isn't a 180....but it has a fairly nice fat look to it.

Welcome aboard, Will. Enjoy the ride!

Welcome to the forum!

I don't think it will fit in the fender.

I ran a MT90B16 rear tire on the front of my Tri Glide....I think that is about 130mm.

It barely fit in the fender.
