Trike Tires

[tndragonrider]

If you were purchasing a new tike conversion which size rear tire would you consider the best; looking, handling and comfort level?

15" or 17"

Just ordered 17" back and front.

A 15" tire of the same circumference will give you a better ride because the higher sidewalls are part of your suspension. The 17" tire of the same circumference will be a quicker handling because of less flex in the sidewalls.

Given you are running similar air pressures in each.

The mfg usually picks a rim and tire size that closes matches the Wing's final drive so the speedo is relatively accurate. Find out that first, then you can jockey with the sizes as long as you have fender well clearance and the correct rim.

After careful consideration regarding all factors; comfort, handling and appearance, I decided to opt for the 17" wheels and tires for my new MT Razor.

Thanks for the replies.
