ordered my spangly new rear wheels,
now, what tyres does everyone go for?
cheapo,s? cos a trike doesnt load the tyres as much as a car
good sticky ones?cos theres less weight in my trike
ones with harder/softer walls?
or just whatevers cheapest/looks best /whatevers available?

im running my 17 inch low profiles at a really low pressure, i intend to use a 75 or 80 profile this time as the wheel dia is 2 inch smaller, (for a bit more comfort over potholes)
do i need a bit more pressure in them maybe?

my new wheels have new tyres fitted  and have a v type pattern,although only 195/50/15 they look substantualy wider than the 205/45/16 i took of because on the tread pattern, i forget the make now but there fairly soft compound(not yoko soft) run at the tryed and tested 15psi

ps love the new slots they'll really set the trike off Wink
