It will handle much better and the front end will remain planted on the ground. it will also give you a more confident feel
Controversy here.
I could get in to the science of overlapping belt joints and blah blah blah...
But the most glaring reason is that the read direction on a normal mounted rear tire is revers from the front tire. you run it backwards so that the directionality of the treads is maintained
42 - is the normal recommended setting for a front mc tire, Trike or not.
For the rears its a different matter. A car weighs more, and therefore the tire is inflated to hold up that weight., and maintain a flat contact patch.
On the other hand a trike weughs considerably less and if you inflate it to the recommended pressure it will bulge at speed like an overinflated tire. thus wearing ot in the middle. Secondly because there is not as much weight, the sidewalls are not going to fles, ie giving you comfort..
Most usually run about 22 - 26 pounds depending on the trike and personal tastes
Rake...
Never had it....
Never will...
