I am building a scratch built v8 trike and I am interested in using a car tyre on the front. Has anyone used a crossply for their front tyre? Just want some feedback as the tyres I can get, the 15" crossply tyre is 2" taller than the Radial. I know a radial is a better constructed tyre than a cross-ply but does it present any adverse handling characteristics on the front?
Here are links to the tyres I am talking about- Radial Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R Tires 6652 - SummitRacing.com
Cross-ply Mickey Thompson Sportsman Front Tires 1574 - SummitRacing.com
