whoops.. ordered what I thought was a front tire.. on the eBay description it says rear tire. but everywhere I look, the tire is listed as being a bias ply rear, radial front or radial front/rear. but this tire definitely says radial so, what happens if I install it on my front rim?

It will create an unrepairable rip in the space time continuum and the universe will implode

Ever seen a black hole? You will.....

Jus kidding, you will be fine. The big thing is when buying a front tire for an ATC you want it to be rounded, not flat on the top like your back tires may be.

that makes sense as a flat tire would be riding up on its corner while turning, why didn't I think of that haha. It's a cheap cheng shin, so yeah, its rounded lol anyone actually run one? I remember the last time I started playing with tires, went with a 24" in the rear like everyone else recommended, and I absolutely hated them. Transformed my R from a stable good handling trike to an ill handling pig.

No its a round tire I have this exact tire on the front of my 200x and it is perfect honestly it looks just like the original tire that came on the 200x.

C832 tire is not that great plus is is more like 24" + when inflated. For years it was about the only replacement out there. Its a softer rubber and has alot of sidewall flex. It looks nothing like OEM 200x at all.

See the differences?

I have will have that exact tire combo from the first one on my R save for mine are 20's and those look like 18's and whats on the front is whats on there now in the 2nd one, from the cracking and dryrot it could be original from the 200x front end I got it from.. just got word that the trails are open where we ride. so better get my bum in gear and do that tire, and my g'fs blaster top end...

its installed, nice and round, didn't realize I had a 24" on there, so I doubt there will be any change. the old tire was just about at the top of the fork seals, so we'll see what it does after its installed now just waiting for the wheel bearings to show up.. then my old R will be ready for a thrash
