I have a 2012 Triglide with12,500 miles, the tires are original (9 years old). What are some good tire recommendations?

Thank you

I use a Avon Cobra Trike, some folks complain about vibration in the tire. I don't have it, and love the tire

I have the Avon Cobra Trike tire on the front and I just recently install a set of Goodyear Conformtreds on the rear. They seem to be a little softer than the original Dunlops.

Paul, welcome to Trike Talk! I too am running the Avon Cobra Trike tire on the front. And the Goodyear Conformtreds seem to be a favorite with folks on here.

Well I'm a little different I run a Michelin Commander II rear tire reversed (reason being tire construction) and 205X70R X15 in the back. I changed the gearing going to the 70's to lower rpms at cruising speeds. Worked really well for us in Pennsylvania. Travel safe Fred

I run Michelins all the way around on mine

Good choice I most likely would have used them on back but I got a great price on my Goodyear's. Installing a 70 series just a little taller tire, I removed the screaming at 70-75 mph. I still have good bottom end. It was an experiment that worked out if it didn't my utility trailer had new tires.

Which Michelins do you have on the rear? I am ready for a set.

Justwant to add a light car or mini van tire should work well. I would check for rain rating and quiet ratings. There are many running comfort tread good year's. I didn't need soft sidewalls with the suspension upgrade to Pro Action rear shocks. Good luck keep us posted. Fred

The ComfortTred tires are great in the rain & only enhances the ride with the ProAction.

How much do you think it lowered the rpm by having a taller tire ? THANKS DAN

By my GPS 3mph. And and old friend checked his Radar unofficially of course.

How many miles can I expect out of the front tire and out of the rear tires on my 2020 TG
