    Default Front Tire - 2008 Goldwing Champion Trike

    Have a 2008 Honda Goldwing Trike - Champion Kit. What tire is anyone running on front? Seems like about 7,000 miles is the best mileage I can get. Have a Bridgestone Exedra now and about 7,000 miles and my husband needs to replace before we decide to take off on a 4 or 5 day jaunt.

    I use a Dunlop D404, Rear Tire with Reverse Rotation and 40 PSI. I get approximately 13 to 15,000 trouble free miles. Plus, they are inexpensive. My last one was $88.00 installed.

    Whatever you purchase always check the Manufacture Date, (Date stamp is four digits 1119, eleventh week of 2019.)

    Michelin Pilot Active 130/70-18 Rear MC tire running backwards. Rear MC tires are built heavier with more tread. Last longer..... Jim

    I installed a 130/70/80 Michelin Pilot Actvi 25,000 miles ago and turned it backward. It will go another 20,000 if I tried it. We plan a trip from Kentucky to San Diago, Ca the Spring so I ordered me another identical tire. I will have it on hand and it cost me free shipping $123.46. I never got more than 15,000 from Dunlaps.

    good Afternoon, Can you tell me where you found this tire? I cannot find it listed anywhere, unless it has been discontinued. Thanks
