Nobody here is using the Michelin Pilot Active as a front tire on their goldwing trike?
Patience Grasshopper ... LOL ... this time of year many of the members are riding or getting their trikes ready for the season ... activity slows a lot.
From my personal experience from all the Wings I've owned including one trike, I start at 38# and adjust up and down until I get a good ride. Just my humble opinion.
I never have run a Michelin Pilot Active on the front of a GL1800 - Roadsmith trike. I used to run one on the front of a GL1500 - Lehman trike. I used above 38psi, but under 41psi in it. I think it's the half worn tire hanging on a hook in the basement now.
Before I got talked into the Avon Trike tire.
I ran my MPA at 36 psi. I like smooth riding don't care about mileage.
Here in my part of the world tires cup before wearing out treads. My MPA had 14K on it. Next front will be another MPA as soon as this crappy Avon bites the dust.
Jeff, I running the tire you mentioned on my GW1800 CSC trike. I started at 41 pounds in the front tire and currently have it adjusted to 39. This seems to be the right pressure for my ride on the expressway.

Not running the Michelin, running the BT45 (rear) on the front, Honda label in the top case says 36 psi, so that's what I run. If I run 41, makes the ride a bit more choppy up front.
I'm running the MPA on the front. I inflate to 38...seems right to me. Monarch II trike
