yamadawg Posted May 25, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2010 I have a friend that just bought a '93 Gold Wing trike. He had been trying to get back on a bike for several years but is slightly paralyzed in one arm and had to go with a trike. The front tire is a Dunlop EIII 130/70R-18 and is in need of changing. Are there any alternatives that he could use? It looks as if the trikes mainly upright stance wears out the center of the tire prematurely. Any suggestions? Thank you!

fishrepair Posted June 2, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 2, 2010 I had this problem and put on a side car block K. It solved my problem. That was about 30,000 miles ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don If you can find a rear tire in the size you can try that. The rear tire's have more tread than the front tires, go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kj5ix Posted June 6, 2010 Share #5 Posted June 6, 2010 Try to find a Michelin Pilot Active in 130/70R-18 ( rear tire for sport touring bike), and mount it in reverse, or a BT45 (BattleAxe) I have the MPA Michelin on my GW, and have 27 K +- and lot of tread left.
