Has any one used a car tire on the front like a 175-55-16 tire. We don't need a curved tire on the front any longer were using car tires on the rear. A little wider front tire may help it handle better. What do think about it??

What do I think ? Why do it ? Not bragging, but I love hard aggressive turns. The front will skip on uneven surfaces. Never brake IN A TURN . Steering friction from a car tire will not be likeable. It’s not a car, it’s still a bike !
My research has found no car tire that could mount on our RSV 3.5" rim.
I'm not going to modify my wheel/rim - too expensive.
So for anyone who cares, my next front tire for my trike will be -
Avon Venom p/n 90000000778 AM42 160/80B16
Load rating = 80
Speed rating = H
Tread Depth 11/32
...just a little wider (.4") & a little taller (1.1")
My current Avon Venom AM42 150/80B 16 has over 15000 miles on it now.
