Tri-Z front tire

[pickleweasel_00]

Hey guys, been a really long time since I last posted here so bear with me Been busy with my cars lately and getting back into riding and hope to spend more time on the forum. Anyways, I am looking at tires for the front of my Tri-Z and really like the looks of the Kenda Front K532 Klaw: https://www.denniskirk.com/kenda/fro...prd/653288.sku. My question is that it is listed as 23x8R-12 but the description says it's a bias tire. If it were a radial, would there be any problems running with bias rear tires? If it's bias I don't have anything to worry about but wanted to know if anyone else has used it and their thoughts. It's a good looking tire and I hate the look of the chevron style tires on the front.



I see they also make it in the 25" size and it is a good bit cheaper https://www.denniskirk.com/kenda/fro...prd/653283.sku So do I go with 25" or 23"? I have the 21" Klaws on the rear on 9" banshee rims and they are a great tire.

One more thing, planning on a future trip to the sand dunes, no idea when, I see most guys run a regular tire on the front? Any problems with this? Any benefit to runnning a sand tire on the front? Sorry for all the questions but thanks for the help

i have no real help but to tell you run the 23" tire for better turning less sidewall roll!

I was wondering how they handled myself...Not a bad looking tire.

These 3wheelers dont "know" the difference. They were produced with bial plys tires, but i have run radials on them too. As long as you're happy with the look, run em'... 25"ers look wierd regardless of construction, and handle much worse due to poor fork angle.

looks like I will go with the 23" tire then, I already have the 86 forks. Anyone else on running regular front tires vs sand front tires at the dunes? Thanks for all the input
