I've owned two motorcycle & sidecar outfits, a Honda GoldWing and a vintage Norton, both with standard spoked rims.
Neither had any issue with ordinary motorcycle tyres on the front, apart from a bit of scrubbing during hard cornering.
Triplerotor, have you looked at the availability of flat tread motorcycle tyres, like the Avon triple duty sidecar tyre.
I think the Avons only come in 19", but other manufacturers may stock smaller ones.
I once used a flat tread 16" tyre on the rear of my GoldWing, but that was many years ago and I no longer remember what brand that was.
