Front tyre
Hi folks
I'm running an Austone taxi tyre on the rear of my GL1500/Oxford outfit so now that the front tyre is nearly worn out what do I replace it with?

I use pilot active rear tire 130/70-18.

Same here and I'm very happy with the performance
That's what I use, good tyre.
Hi, I'm just about to part with some of my hard earned cash for Pilot Active tyre when I'm told that Avon make a Cobra Trike tyre. Has anyone used one if so are they any good. The tyre needs to be VERY good as it's twice the price!

When you run a rear on the front which way to you have the rotation arrow? Same as it would be if it was on the rear? or backwards?
Reverse the directional arrow. A front tire uses the tread design for braking. A rear use it for traction. Reversing the arrow allows more braking traction on the front wheel.

Thank you.
Does it still work well in the rain? Have you noticed any issues?
My apologies for the hijack.
Might be a bit better in the rain since the front tire does the brunt of the braking.
