Tires??

[Blueribbon]

OK, here goes (almost like getting into the oil thing). My tires have 30K on them and are down to the wear indicator. I really want an all weather tire, so have good wet weather performance.

Suggestions?

BT 45 0n front, Michelin Defenders on rear and they are known as a very good rain tire

What tire are you running and have you had trouble in the rain? Thanks

BT45 on front and I will use the Michelin Primacy MXV4 when I replace the rears probably next spring.

If I order a BT-45 130/70/18 is that a bias tire?

As long as this issue is on the board, I've heard that mounting a car tire on the frt. wheel in the reverse direction has better steering advantages.

Any feedback on this ?

Rear tire

I was not clear when I started this thread. I'm talking about REAR tires. I currently have the following on the trike.

Alken 205/65R16 95V

I am looking for recommendations for good all weather tire for the REAR of my trike.

Here is the tires I have to choose from:

Car Tire on the Front???? Maybe a motorcycle tire on the front in reverse direction? Yes!

BT45 on front,Michelin Primacy MXV4 on back. Ive 33,000 miles on the rears and they still look good. No issues with rain with these tires. But no matter what tires you have on the rear when riding in the rain common sense must prevail.
