This is a resource list of tires which is intended to be kept up to date. Basically, a "Cliff's Notes" (TrikePilot's term) like what Elizilla started which shows what fits, and hopefully we can include some basic notes. For example, percentage street/dirt, a range of mileages, speed rating, etc.
Elizilla started this and did it well. The problem with Elizilla's list is that it's gotten to be a 9 page long discussion that wanders and the thread misses a lot of what is in the other 260 tire-related threads. So at this point it's tough to use as a resource.
The concept is that this thread will be a community property for replacement from time to time when we need to update the list. Keep posting away in the new Board, titled "Tires and Wheels" as you normally would, and we are looking for a volunteer to occasionally update this thread with material from the rest of the new Tire/Wheel/Disc board. If you post on this thread to update it - thank you. But realize that since this is a resource thread, posts may be deleted after being incorporated into this first post which will have the material we want to keep boiled down.
So what is below started with an alphabetized version of the original Elizilla list (Thanks again!) from the other thread - and adds material from other posts:
Note that only maximum mileages of rear tires are from forum posts are shown, when available. (Rear tires are typically first to wear out.) These numbers are to provide a rough comparison, which does NOT provide data about wet / dry handling properties or other aspects.
