and blew away my ankle and my hip. spring of 2023 i bought a Trike, 2018 Tri glide with 500 miles on it. have done a few mods as recommended from DK customs and a couple more. been riding since i was 11 and will not give it up. ended up here trying to decide on a new front tire as i am a little over 11k miles and the stock tire is looking a little rough. hope to learn a lot and help when i can. enjoy.
 
Welcome aboard Richard from Key Largo Fl.
Nice looking trike.
Do a search there is a lot of opinions on here about front tires.
 
Welcome - where in Michigan are you. I am in Lake Orion. If close, maybe we can take a few rides together. If further away, maybe my chapter can come to your area, and you can show us some nice roads.

As mentioned, there had been quite a bit of discussion about tires here. I currently have an Avon trike tire on my bike - has over 111K on it right now and plenty of thread left.

I expect to get over 20K on this tire (others have too). Problem is that the tire is difficult to find. My next tire will be the BT46 rear tire and I will run it in reverse (long discussion thread on this site about this too).

What size is your front tire?

I am in Paris, about an hour north of Grand Rapids. current tire is the stock MT90B16 72h, looking at the Shinko SR777 HD Reflector. 130/90B16 73H

Welcome from Texas.
 
Welcome to TrikeTalk Richard. I'm glad you made it through that wreck and found a way to keep up with your passion. I think you will find all the information you need here to keep your trike well maintained.
