A friend was asking me about a ct on the front of his trike just was wondering of anyone has tried this and of yes what do you think about it.

If your talking about a gl1800 trike I haven't heard of any car tires that would fit on it's rim. Would probably have to go with a Leading Link type of suspension that is used on some sidecar rigs. BIG BUCKS. I run a sidecar and have had good luck using a 140/70/18 Bridgestone Battlax bias rr. tire on the front. It's taller and wider than the stock tire. Only problem is stones sticking in the tread coming up thru the fender. Sounds like it's going to cut it in half, but it hasn't. Run it in forward or reverse rotation. More rubber on the ground, and I got 22k mile out of the last one. My sidecar puts alot of side pull on the tire, so a trike MAY get better milage. jmho
