My outfit needs a new front tire. I've been using the stock bullet tire. Does anyone have advice about alternatives.

Duro HF308 is a "street universal, the HF307 is a trials universal. They wear well and are fine for the speeds these machines run. The 3.50 x 19 fits the front of my pe-unit Bullets with no mods, the 4.00x19 you'll likely need to raise the fender. 3.50x19 is good for 500 pounds, the 4.00x19 about 700. Prices range from $60 to $100 depending where you buy them. Walmart sometime have them.

Heidenau and Avon make tires specifically designed for sidecar rigs. Pricey though.

Thank you. Unfortunately whey don't seem to sell the 3.50x18 tire needed for the RE front wheel.
