How much more comfy would my trike be if i put only 22 lbs in rear tires???

The stress on a rear motorcycle tire comes from acceleration. A rear tire is manufactured so the tire overlapping accommodates that stress. Conversely, the stress on a front motorcycle tire comes from braking and it is manufactured with those stresses in mind. So, if you mount a rear tire on the front of a motorcycle without reversing it, that tire will experience stresses that are opposite of what it was manufactured for. Probably not something that will be noticed by most of us recreational riders..... Jim

Is this tire called the PNEU Battlax 46?

I have to say that I "totally baby" my trike, and ride it like it's brand new every ride...............I use the brakes little as possible (if I know that I have to stop, up the road, I just cruise to the light or stop sign, and let the bike slow down w/o using the brakes.... (it's a game that I play, with myself.."is to use the brakes little as possible") and never "REDLINE" the engine... hey it's going to be the last motorcycle that I'll probably ever buy (71 yrs old now) why wear out the brakes if I don't have too...............

By the way we are just kidding with ya. Treat your trike right and it will treat you right. Don't need to stop hard if a slow easy stop works just as well. Anticipation and defensive riding are a good thing.

Automatic Transmissions are the best money maker for the brake repair shops....

Run right up to a red light and hit the brakes...Riding down a long incline' Ride the brakes all the way.....Anticipation' No way...

Thank you Jim,

I do ride my trike, like it's the first day I purchased it,/ I never hot rod, around town / never "red line" it / or go above the speed limit (well maybe in the twesties/once in a while) lol
