I would have just gone with skinny classic VW car tires in the front, and a wider one in the back. Motorcycle tires have higher rolling resistance than car tires, and in the trike application don't lean anymore but leaning is what they're made for. Motorcycle wheels aren't made to sustain the level of side loading car wheels are either.
