    Looks a little to meaty to me for a front tire, but that's only my opinion as I never have tried it!

    Yuck..... I have never likes an aggressive tread on a front wheel. Like stated above, you only turn with it so I would think it would get gummed up in mud and drag you down........peace

    That looks like a heavy utility quad tire. If it is, itll make it a nosediver.

    I'd suggest buying an oem tire or getting a kenda front max. I have the front max on my 350X and it works great. I agree, stay away from those 4x4 tires for the front, they are heavy and look stupid on the front of a high performance trike. Just my 2 cents.

    I had a Front Max and it hit the pipe slightly at full compression of the front suspension. This was with an FMF pipe though which sticks out a little farther than stock. I've got a stock Dunlop now and it looks MUCH better.

    Where did you get that? The front tire right?

    AH, I just noticed that you have an '82. I have an '85- that's two completely different tires.
