Hello all. I spoke with Tim at OMF Wheels this afternoon about having new 11 inch front wheels made. I explained that Douglas discontinued the wheel they offered, but he said he could/would make wheels for those that want them. A group purchase of 50 wheels will get it done. We discussed the options of decent tires that were available, since that is the problem. The option of a 12 inch wheel came up, also.

I've often thought about mounting the rear tire of a TRX700XX, since it is a 22x9x11. It's a Dunlop radial, which should handle very well with the extra inch of tread to the ground.

Who's willing to commit to purchasing 11 inch wheels?

I've also talked with Hoosier about offering an appropriate 22x8x11 front tire for trikes.

What are your thoughts?

What model of Hoosier front tire?! I wish they would bring back a nice flat track front tire.

If you get them to make a 10 inch front rim then I'm in. Endless choices with 10 inch fronts.
