Recommend a Front Tire for '23 Tri Glide
I need help with recommendations for a long lasting 130/90-16 tire for the front of my trike.
(140/90-16 maybe?)
A motorcycle rear tire is okay by me, but please let me know your experience, and which way you mounted it.
Thanks to all!

Before straying from the OEM HD front (or rear!) tire, see:

There's a LOT more to tire selection than tire size, and the comfort, and safety, of you, your trike, and your passenger, may be notably impacted.

On my 14 I mounted a D402 rear backwards, I did a trip up north for 5 days, on tne way back I rode a whole day in the rain and it handled perfectly. When I traded the bike it had about 10000 miles on it and it still looked great. The dealer I traded it in said they weren’t going to put a new on on it looked so good.

What psi have you been running in it?
Lone rider or plus passenger and plus luggages?

It's very low mileage. I get more than that from my Ultra Limited rear tire.
I mostly ride solo, but maybe 10% of the time have my 135 lb wife on board with light luggage.
36 psi ambient.
I always have my 'roadside bag', but that's only 10 lbs.
I'll probably try the D402 rear on the front next.
I'm hoping it will last about twice as long.
