Man did my new tire make a huge difference. Having never ridden a trike I thought mine handled fine. I was told I would need a new front tire and the ride would be better, but I never thought that much better. Old tire had a lot of tread but was old and not used much, another story that led me to triking it,
Leaving the shop it was like wow. So much better ride.
 
I just replaced my stock tire with a MPA 130/70/R18 rear tire, had them add in Ride On (took 10 ounces, had to by 2 bottles) also had them remove my TPMS sensor and added in a 90 degree chrome valve stem. The tire was placed on in the direction of rotation (not backwards). It has to be one of the smoothest running tires I have ever had on a bike, plus the added security of the puncture sealant is a piece of mind. I did not notice any slow start woobles as the Ride On spreads out to balance the tire.:10:
