I need to hear from someone who has installed or tried to install a 195/60 16 on a Roadstar 1600. Thanks in advance.

See if you can find your bike on this site to see what others have used.

I've been running an Austone taxi tire, 175Rx78x16 on two RoadStars for several years and have yet to find anything wrong with them. They corner until I drag floorboards, stop real fast, last about 25,000 miles, wear evenly (when run at 32#), and put my speedometer exactly on correct reading (based on my gps). Here's a link to the main place most folks get theirs from:

By the way, I weigh 320#, often carry a 210# passenger, and have Tsukayu bags. Here's a link to my setup:

RonK, Thank you for that information on the Austone taxi Tire 175R/78-16. That is what I am about to use on my 2013 Roadstar Trike. The reason is because my Roadstar is eating up my Michelin Commanders II . Maybe these Austones will help my Milage Usage. My trike is a Voyager Convertible and I still have a rear tire as my power tire.

RonK, whats the average milage to you get on the Austone Taxi Tire ? TIA, Kai

My Austone Taxi Tire 175R-16 is mounted on my 2013 Yamaha Roadstar Trike. It fit okay with 1/4 inch clearance at the nearest places but still clears. We'll see what my milage is with these tires.

I get around 25,000 on them. Universal Tire doesn't have the Austone anymore, but they have a Maxxis in the same size.
