Need some rear tire help!

[flyby8906]

Hello my follower trikers, I have seen many threads on this subject but have not found what I'm looking for. I have a 2005 Honda Goldwing Trike (CSC) needing rear tires. Presently the rears are Sigma Supremes TR M&S P205/60R15 90T which have been discontinued, so I'm looking for tires to replace them. Would truly appreciate your help with replacement tires, thanks

There are many good tires out there to suit almost every budget so a lot depends on what you want to spend.

The main consideration on a trike, IMO, is the ability to disperse water to prevent hydroplaning. Past that it's like choosing the brand of oil to use.LOL.

Personally, when I replace my tires on my RS in the next couple of months I'm planning on using Michelin's MXV4. YMMV.

FWIW I have been very pleased with General Altimax RT tires. About $90 from Discount Tires, Tire Rack etc. Stan

Don't know much about trikes but was wondering if you had tire trouble, can you go to Walmart and have one repaired or replaced? (Most every town has a Walmart)

Mich.Defender great rain tire and more

My current tires were bought & installed at a WalMart. I don't remember the brand, I was looking at tread pattern. I did remove the wheels for them, their tire guy couldn't find a phillips-head screwdriver large enough to remove the center cap from the wheels. Needless to say I was there to watch the entire mounting process.

I decided to go with the Mich. Defenders got them on the bike tonight, wasn't able to take a long ride. Now to find the right tire pressure that works. Any ideas on a starting point for the pressure, have put 23 pounds in them..

Good staring pressure. Up or down 2 lbs

How many miles do you expect to get on rear tires? Thanks.

I know next to zero regarding the + or - of the various brands. What I do know is my 2012 Motor Trike IRS kit came with "Fuzion Touring" rear tires. After about 12,000 miles, they have served well and still look like new. I have no idea of price or availability. Just throwing out another alternative. Good luck with your tire search/purchase.

While my 2013 CSC only has 20,000 miles on the Cooper tires that came as OEM, I think when the time comes to replace them, I'll contact CSC to see what they are currently using and what their recommendations may be! I think they will have an interest in helping me get the best out of a trike manufactured by them!
