Ive just had my 1st flat on the trike.
I ran over a roofing nail someplace but got myself home on 8 pounds of air.
The trike came with BF Goodrich TAs.
They are fairly close on the right side to the wear bars.
I managed to plug it myself using a rope type of repair. Its seems to be holding air OK. I just dont feel good about it being in the center of a fairly worn tire.
My question is this.
In terms of tire quality. Are there any real reasons not to use the off name brands most local shops sell??
Here the 2 big discount stores are Tire Kingdom and Tires Plus. Which although Ive forgotten Tires Plus is also under some other name nationally.
Tires Plus house brand is Primwell. Some sources say China others say they are made by Cooper.
Then there is Tire Kingdoms Escopia brand. Also supposedly made by some large national company.
Now needless to say these tires are ALOT less expensive then the name brands.
Ive been using the Primwell tires on my cars with no complaints.
Personally Id like to find some non direction at least T or H rated tires that can be changed from side to side.
Unlike directional that seem are always radials that cant be rotated.
You folks here have anything to add or enlighten me about rear tires for the trike??
Also as an side note. Why in heck are my posts here all double spaced lately?? Annoying
