Hi All. I am looking to replace the front tyre on my trike. I curently have a 100/90-19 57H tyre on. I have been looking at this: http://vintagetyres.co.uk/item/357/350-19--350x19--avon-triple-duty--motorcycle-sidecar--austin-7--road350-19 (350X19) AVON TRIPLE DUTY: MOTORCYCLE SIDECAR: AUSTIN 7: ROAD Type: CROSS-PLY Diameter: 675 mm Section Width: 95 mm Max Speed: 75 mph Max Load: 225 kg Weight: 5 kg Is that the right thing to buy? thanks Andy |

Will give you a flatter footprint and more grip as opposed to a bike tyre that has a rounded profile.

The head shake is pretty bad up to 20 so im hoping the refurb of the shocks plus this will help. Worth a try anyway.

should look for radial as apposed to cross ply as the rear will be radial, was tyre fitter for a few years and was a rule imposed due the design [ some thing to do with the way they react to road surface , too many brain cells destroyed since to remember the extract tech side]

two or 3 trikes of mine have been like that, a damper helps, but tbh, once the tyre scrubbed in it was all but gone, personally, I don't like the sidecar type tyre, heavy, and for me, less grip, especially in the wet, I do use my trike quite sportily though |

Not a great lover of steering dampers. there fine for the bikes they where designed for but not to try and reduce head shake  that's my views I would check rake trail and bearings forks first |

I've been told - but have no experience - that if the damper is tight enough to reduce headshake at low speeds, it will restrict the steering (not in a good way) when moving faster.

We fitted a damper on martins trike..which stopped lots of wobble..no restriction on the steering ? After being told that I didn't need to worry as much about rake and trail on a trike as on a bike ? Some so called experts talk the talk...can't beat experience |

Thought it sounded a bit odd but..... I always tend to expect blokes to be more knowledgeable than me about building things!
