Got a technical tire/wheel question for you:
My Roadsmith rig is a 2010 GL1800 under the covers. The current wheels are your stock design --16x7, 5X4.5 with 35 mm offset. Running the standard Kumho Solus tires at 205/65/R16. Standard Dunlop Front Tire/Wheel.
Here are my Two Questions:
1) Will the trike handle differently and do I introduce any risks or fit problems going to the following wheel / tire combo:
Wheels: 16x7, 5X4.5 with 40 or 42 mm offset
Tires: 215/65 or 70 /R16
2) Do you have any thoughts (pro/con) on running a rear motorcycle tire on the front, installed backwards? I'm reading that many people swear by it with stories of improved handling and tire mileage.
Would like your insight before I start to change the set-up.
Thanks!
