.....and how about mileage on those back skins - my Dunlaps (Harley trike) have 35 thou. and still have LOTS of tread left !
Thanks

Changed mine at 45,000.
Goodyear assurance fuel saver Max. Nice and quiet and I believe I can see about a 2 MPG increase. Of course the tire is now about 3 " larger in circumference due to less wear.

So far, I've been perfectly content with my B F Goodrich "Motor Trike Stockers"......pretty familiar with this Tire over the years anyway on a lot of various Vehicles....ThumbUp

If you can find some Michelin Hydro Edge in your size they are a great tire. Especially for water dispersal. Another to look at is the Goodyear Triple Tred. Have heard of trikers going to the Michelin, but it has been discountinued. Put the Goodyears on my daughter's car. She got 75,000 miles out of them. And they still had tread on them.

I am a Michilen man. Have a MPA, reverse mounted ceramic beads balanced in the front, with Primacy MXV4 in the rears and I love the tires. 41 psi in the front 22 psi in the rear.<br />
Hannigan put Michilen on the trike at that time, but tire was discountinued and that's why I went with the Primacy.<br />
