Good reviews on the Avon Cobra Trike Tire. Optimized for the Trike front, with much more tread than a regular 2 wheeler front. I have in, but haven’t installed it yet. There are very few, decent car tires that will fit the front.

I have the Avon installed; has about 6000 miles on it and it still looks brand new. It is pressure sensitive, for best handling the psi needs to be around 41.

I've run a couple of rear tires for touring models, reversed, on the front of the Tri-Glide. 1 Dunlop and one Michelin. Both of them did far better traction wise and wear wise than the standard front tire.

I am now running the Avon Trike front specific tire and it is even better than the rear tires reversed. I've read and talked to a few guys that did not like the Avon...but I really like it, and I've read and talked to a bunch that did also.

Here's a photo of the Avon (top) and the rear tire reversed (bottom) from my last tire change.
