Let's talk tires.

What is the general consensus? Is BT 45 run in reverse still the way to go? I did on my VTX and was very pleased with it. 25,000 miles and was still looking good when I sold it.. Have not heard good things about the Avon trike tire. I have been told that Goldwing if famous for eating up front tires. Buddy of mine went through them quickly. Tthe Michelin Piolet Active that I have now is pure JUNK!

I'm running the BT45 but I think its been replaced by something else now.BT50 or something like that.If your buddy is trying to run regular front tires yes they don't last long.

That's the info I looking for. I assumed that after 7 years there should be a replacement. Just have not heard anyone talking about it. I'll have to research. thank you. Someone else said it was BT50.
