I wanted some feedback from people who put high mileage on their trikes.
I am currently searching for a used trike (would like to match my GW, if possible) or contemplating a conversion of my current GW. The reason for the trike would be an extended tour of the US, including parts of Canada and Alaska. The trike would be a stress relief, both physically and emotionall, over such a long tour. In addition, I plan on pulling a camping trailer, so a trike would afford more options in this arena.
So, my questions are:
1. Would you choose a high mileage time (Yokohama 85,000 mile) or a run-flat (Bridgestone 50,000 mile) for the rear tires?
2. Since both these tire on the rear are radials, is there any concern about radial or non-radial on the front? Options reviewed
were Avon Cobra AV 91 (radial) and Bridgestone BT 45 (bias ply).
Inquiring minds what to know! :nerd:
