What type of sidecar tire do you recommend? Can you use a motorcycle tire, Avon sidecar tire or a automobile tire? Thanks
What size and what are you going to use it on? I use Cheneg
shin or the cheepest I can get
Ron in Co
It would depend upon your usage needs. The size and heft of your rig, existing wheel and tire type and size. ie: auto or motorcycle wheel.
Backroading or freeway touring, driven wheel or slave wheel, a lot of variables that would need to be addressed before choosing the safest tire to use.

I have a '72 HD FLH 1200cc. It's probably about 800lbs plus the '69 HD sidecar car (200lbs?). I currently have motorcycle Dunlops on the bike and the sidecar wheel is 16" and slave driven. I will be driving in the city and some hwy. What's your opinion for a good tire. Can I use the same motorcycle Dunlops tire on the sidecar?
We have a very limited supply of the twin tires in stock. These are automotive tires that fit right on the stock rims. The tires can be seen on our web site www.dauntlessmotors.com

I have a 500X16 Cheneg Shin on my sidecar and show no wear after 15000 miles and highly recomend them cost is about $50

Unless you have whitewalls, 402P (Police) Dunlops handle great and wear well.
Ron in CO:
What bike/sidecar are you getting all that mileage on ChenShings with ?
Bike too, or just the sidecar ?
I've used the 6 ply rated ones on Velorex cars and they wore well.

That was just the sidecar, a Cal frame widened 9" with a flat bed to carry my 4 wheel cart about 325#. Have put them on the bike now will see what goes. Bike is a 1100 Honda Shadow
