Quick question: are there any DOT certified 3 wheeler tires?

I'll be able to use any wheel size I want as it's a custom build. Don't want to start the build for some street use if I can't get street tires, ya know? Thanks!

innova makes street leagal tires as well as carlise and duro the innova sizes are the bigger ones, carlise street look like grampa car tires, and the duros are small.

if you can use a 10x5 front wheel you could use those radial car tires that quads used on the front (like in my avitar)

they are only about 18-19 inchs tall.....heck, i guess you could use them all the way around

Thanks a bunch kiddos, that's what I needed, clues! I hate not having a clue, ya know? :lol:

I didn't know they had car tires that small, maybe I need to get out more. Looking at building a street registered 3 wheeler grocery getter off a motorcycle frame. I live in a remote area with wild twisty uninhabited mountain roads so a 3 wheeler would be perfect. Couldn't see even starting if I can't get legal tires!

Thanks!!
