All depends on the application. For a sport trike, I'll go with a Kenda Front Max. For a utility trike, a Carlisle plain block knobby.

Sport:
Kenda Front Max A/T 23.5x8x11
Carlisle AT489XT 23 or 24x8x11

Utility:
Nankang nobbies is always a good choice

Scorpion knobbie seems to do alright for me, and I'm a big guy (350+), and the wheeler doesn't do that much pushing instead of turning with a meatier tread. Of course, if you run them on pavement it seriously shortens tread life on ANY tire. Good luck!

Although I have the Kenda on the front of my 350x, I have found out that the OEM honda tires are still available from the factory for only 37$ so I think those are the ones to get if you can.........peace

I use the Dunlop 23x8x11 on the front on my 250R and is the same tread pattern as the OEM tire.

My Tecate front Rim is 10"x8.5" I have 22"x11"x10" Tires all the way around. Turf Tamer rear on the front. I dont see a size that will fit my rim. What size tire can I put on this rim? I'm confused I guess. :rolleyes:

Your gonna have a hard time find the right tire for the early Tecates on the front. I BELIEVE Dennis Kirk had some a while back, www.denniskirk.com but I'm not sure whether they still do or not.
