I will run my CSC Viper at around 20-22 psi and it feels just right.

Tire pressures

On our 2010 Goldwing CSC Cobra we have an Avon Trike tire on the front and run 36-40 lbs in it. Still experimenting with it.

On the rear we run anywhere from 22-24.

Just have to play with it to see what handles and rides the best for you.

1997 GL1500 Lehman GTL trike, Avon Trike Radial 130/70R18front @ 39-41 psi …

… are P215/70R15 (on 15x7 wheels) car typerear tires @ 20-22 psi normally like with no trailer or rear carrier … and I almost always have "Wife Unit" on with me, so call it "two up" (However ... I do go with 25 psi if going "two up" andpulling trailer ormy hitch receiver mounted carrier on a several days trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway … just to take any hint of squirm out of it).

Not to complicate it, but just to say our trike uses two Progressive Suspension #416 series "air/spring shocks", I usually run 60-75psi in them. Not knowing what yours is, could be same or air bags or springs only or ???

Most trike kits recommend about the same. 40-41 in front 22-24 in rear. The rear will probably rot before you wear them out BUT, do not keep them on the bike more than 5-6 yrs. Tread my still ok but tires my fail.
