Hello everyone,

went to Maggie Valley recently and put about 1000 miles on trike. Upon returning home noticed cupping on front tire. I checked and adjusted pressures before we left. To all who are in Maggie this weekend for holiday when you get home check your front tire and post how yours looks and any suggestions.

Thanks

P.S. found out my trike has a recall. Go to the Harley site and enter your VIN #.

Have you notice any vibration at a given speed if so the tire might be out of balance??
 
I've always had good luck on "how' my front trike tires wear, the issue has always been they wear out between 14,000 and 16,000 miles. I just went over 40,000 miles on my 2019 and I will need my third front tire in another month or two.
 
When balancing your front tire what do you prefer? Stick on lead weights, balancing beads, or something else, like Ride on?

Also what kind of tire pressure do y'all run in the front tire when it's 90 degrees plus outside?

Thanks

What tire?

What pressure?
 
22 in rear & 36 front.. I use Dyna beads for yrs. Tried Ride-On once & when guy changed the tire ,it was a total mess for him to clean that stuff out before he could mount the new tire. Never again ..
