what kind and where to get a front tire

[joe_f7]

looking for a tire to replace my front one on my 86 T3 and i can't seem to find one. the current tire is a 23x9x11. what kind is everyone using and what size would work for me? thanks

not sure but you might have a better choice of tire if you go with a 10" rim instead of 11.

[joe_f7]

what 10" rim fits mine?

tires for an 11 inch wheel are becoming difficult to find. not sure what is out there thats still suitable for the front of a trike other than the Cheng Shin C832 and the Kenda Front Max. Dunlops for the Rs are pretty much NLA. what else is out there guys? I have a feeling that if we dont show a consistant demand for 11 inch tires for the trikes, there wont be anything to run except 4x4 quad front tires... There is the 11 incher for the TRX 700xx, but im not sure if its too wide (its a rear tire) anyone try one yet? 10 inch wheels are nice, but having to do a group buy on them kinda sucks... maybe we can start a sticky or an ATC Tire buyers guide? I have a feeling if we dont do something to keep the tire companys interested in making these tires available, you better start getting good at your wheelies. or wait until 20 of us all need a 10 inch wheel.

i saw some 23x8x11 tires. will those work? there is no 4-wheeler rim that will fit our trikes?

[HondaHarry]

23x8x11 will work, thats what I run on my R.

the front wheel has to be custom made...

they have zero offset, and the dish in the center has to be large
enough to fit a 4x170 mm bolt pattern but even with that the hub
and caliper needs trimmed in most applications.

As far as I know there is nothing from a quad that will work without
major mods.

maybe i sounded like an alarmist in my previous reply, but its only
a matter of time before the 11's that we like will be all gone. HH

dunlop makes a 22x7x11 and goodyear makes a 22x7x11 both have great tread patterns for braking and everything else.

Do you have a les shwaub tire store in your area because i jus ordered a tire from them that was 23.5x8x11 for my 350x all they had was knobby tho

I was planning on ordering a Dunlop KT576 here soon: http://www.tiresunlimited.com/ALL%20TIRES/Dunlop/Dunlop%20ATV/dunlop_atv_kt536a_kt687.htm

I hope they are still available, but I'm not ready to buy yet...
