Tony,
First off thank you for these Forums, they are a great help.
My question deals with rear tire issues on my wifes Silverwing Scooter with the 12" wheel kit. I've noticed that the rear tire is wearing unevenly, just the center contact area, a no brainer of course as the bike no longer "leans" but rather stays vertical all the time.
Do you know of anyone with these kits doing it , or see an issue, in using a "dark side" (auto tire) replacement when time comes for a change? The bike will never be used in two wheel mode again, she loves the kit, and I know "real" trikes use auto tires in the rear so I do not think it's a big deal but your the pro.
In researching I've found the Sumitomo 165/70TR13 seems to be the unit of choice, it fits the rim and many are using it as a replacement.
Thanks
Ed Rogers
