Hi all, I have a 2016 tri glide ultra that runs a Dunlop MT90B16 MC72H front tire. I measured the rim to 3.5 inches (bead to bead) and tire to 5" outside to outside, which translates to 127mm. I would love to try a car tire on front but having trouble finding one to replace it. I have enough room to insert pinky finger between fender and tire on current Dunlop. Can anyone help me with this project? Would love to be the first one in my neighborhood to have one up front. Thanks
I don't know if a car tire that would fit that rim even close to properly. However, I wouldn't hesitate to run a rear motorcycle tire on the front of it. Or rumor has it, Avon has a front tire specifically for trikes. Id even be inclined to try it on a 2 wheeler
Our local Tri Glide guys are running a rear MU85HB 16 on the front of the trikes with excellent results. Easy 30,000 miles, better braking, ride etc. even looks better.
when ordering rear tire for front, does one order the rear in the same size as front? any width issues?
Order a rear tire, in the rear tire size, Our crew has mounted them in the reverse direction but the jury is out on advantages , mount it the way you think is best for water displacement. https://www.jpcycles.com/product/zz2...SABEgJov_D_BwE
