Default Avon Trike Tire

2015 Tri-Glide Avon Trike tire trip report

I install a new Avon Trike tire Model AV71 Size MT90B16 on May 13,2106 I had 9,994 miles on the OEM Dunlop tire and it had between 2-3/32 center tread left.

Since I was planning a long trip at the end of the month and didn't want to change tire mid trip I decide best to replace before leaving.

4,190 miles later after returning home I have 10/32 center tread left (new 11/32).
Really like the tire handling although I cannot tell you how it handles on wet roads (yes 4000 miles and never had to get out rain suit). Although when not "side loading" tire on smooth roads that have no tire groove yet, it seems to wonder around a bit. If a good tire groove, in a corner or with a cross wind it is really solid. I emailed Avon about what they recommend for tire pressures they called me back I discussed the "wondering around" with them there recommended 36 psi which is Harley's pressure.

This trip was solo 300 pound driver, about 20 pounds of luggage.

Rear tire pressure 21 psi original Dunlop tires

DK Comfort Lift kit

50psi in shocks
