    Default Avon trike tire

    I just received an Avon front tire for my Goldwing trike. It says cobra chrome (63v), 130/70vr18, av91. They told me it is for a trike but my old one said “trike” right on the side and this one doesn’t. Did Avon change that? Is this tire for a trike?

    I don't think they sent you the right tire. I always read it should say Trike on it. Avon's website shows a picture and it says trike on the tire

    Default av91 trike tire

    All the descriptions I read say it has trike emblazoned on the sidewall like the av71 did. https://mxpowerplay.com/i-30675163-a...0r-18-63v.html

    There are 2 AV91 Avon Cobra Chrome tires in that size. One definitely has trike on the side and one doesn't. The one you want for a trike is the one with TRIKE on the sidewall. It is a 130/70R18. The one you have, 130/70VR18 will probably work but it is not the one designed specifically for the trikes.

    It looks like mine isn’t the trike tire. I tried to contact Avon but can’t find a phone number. I emailed them but haven’t heard back yet. My current Avon trike tire has 12,000 miles on it and I don’t know how to tell if it’s worn out. It seems a little bumpy at low speeds more than normal. I plan on trailering it on vacation in a couple of weeks and I usually put on about 1,000 miles or so in the week that I’m there so I have safety concerns. Avon trike tires seem to be out of stock everywhere. My question is has anyone ever tried the Avon regular front tire on their trike? Other than probably getting less mileage out of the tire are there any safety concerns I need to consider? Will the tire slide while cornering or anything like that? All opinions will be greatly appreciated.

    thanks

    From what I saw on the Avon site, the specs are pretty much the same. As far as will it work? I would say yes. The Avon AV91 trike tire is the only specifically designed trike tire on the market but many have successfully used other tires on their trikes, myself included, and have been just fine. I have seen where some gave had their bikes converted and continue to use the tire that was already on the front. I have used the Bridgestone Batlax BT45 which is a bias ply tire designed as a rear tire. And currently have a Michelin Pilot Activ which is also a bias ply designed as a rear tire. The Michelin is ready to be changed out and I have a Avon Cobra AV91 trike tire ready to get mounted but just haven't had the time to do so. What you will notice about trikes and their front tires is that over time, they will no longer have a rounded face and will start to get a flatter face. This is obviously because trikes don't lean so 100% of the wear will be on the center of the tread. It would be as if someone on 2 wheels was always driving straight forward and never turned. They can still put a lot of miles on those tires but are going to wear the center out before the edges. IIRC, the Avon Trike tires are designed to wear better on center tread to give a bit more mileage. But your 130/70VR18 has a load rating of 63 just as the trike one as well as a speed rating of V just like the trike tire. And both are radials. If it were me, I would get that tire mounted and use it up. You just might not get as many miles out of it. I'm sure before you wear it out though, you should be able to get your hands on the trike one for the replacement. JMHO...

    Brian, I had a regular Avon tire on the front of my motorcycle when it was triked. I had no problems with it and got fairly good mileage out of it before I replaced it with an Avon Trike tire.
