Anyone using anything successfully other than the OEM Dunlop?

 

I finally wore out the Dunlop front tire. Instead of going back to the dealer, I went to an independent shop. He ordered and installed a Pirelli Night Dragon tire. Same size as the Dunlop. and it handles as good, if not better than the original tire. You have my $0.02 worth of an opinion. Your results may vary.

 

I must change the front tire on the Freewheeler from my wife, and I was wondering if we couldn't fit a square profile tire to the extent that the trike turns flat and if that wouldn't be better for handling and grip than a bike tire which has a round profile, would that be has anyone ever done this?

 

I got this Tire at my dealership got 16,000 miles on it pretty sure it go up to 20,000 to get down to the ware marks. I had to ask for this tire they said it was made just for the FLRT freewheeler
Harley Davidson 130/60B19/MCG1H Dunlop D408F. (my 2015 FLRT) been running 36psi it's wearing in middle wish I'da run 33 instead, should have posted present Pic!

 

Sound like you are talking about a car style tire. In bike world this is called going to the "darkside". Sidecar folks have been doing that for years. Let us know how it works for you

 

If handling is the concern, looking into an upgrade in front suspension may be helpful.

Freewheelers typically have smaller tires in comparison to the Tri Glides, and handling and comfort can be an issue.

Adding some Intiminator values may be worth considering.
