What tires do you run on front end of trike and how many miles do you get on them?

Found two part numbers for Avon's Cobra Chrome Front Tires for use on the Tri Glide. Don't know the difference, except the second one cost a little more.

Avon AV91 Cobra Chrome MT90B16 Front Tire P/N: 2120196

Avon AV91 Cobra Chrome MT90B16 Front Tire P/N: 2120411

I'm just guessing, but is 1of them a white wall?

Finally found the difference. Avon AV91 Cobra Chrome MT90B16 Front Tire P/N: 2120411 is Avon's "Trike" Tire. A lot of on line sellers don't list the "Trike" designation in their Description or Specification for this part number.

Wes, thank you for your post. You are right... the 2120411 is the new trike tire and has a tread depth of 8.7 (same as the old trike tire) and the 2120196 has a tread depth of 5.2 (same as their old regular motorcycle front tire in that size).

They probably have 1 for the Gold wing size too. That's what they did before. I wish they made a 19" for the Freewheeler.

Doug, many thanks for identifying those thread depth differences. Kinda figured that there was more between the two than just the "Trike" Designation. Your post makes it clear the difference in spec's between the two part numbers.

In looking at the new 'Chrome' version of the Avon Cobra trike tire I can readily see that the tread patter is different (and 180 degrees out of phase) from the 'original' version of the tire. Guess they decided this would somehow improve the tire. Hope so anyway, lol.

BTW I saw this difference in looking at the tires from the Drag Specialties website. Where did you guys find the Avon part numbers and specs? I went to the Avon website and saw the tire but without much information. Previously I'd been able to download a reference sheet with all the tire specs and sizes but could not find it there any longer.

Found the different part numbers and Trike Designation on Revzilla.
