In regards to tires: I have Schwalbe super Moto X tires on my HHH They are big, fat, cushy tires. In my very humble opinion, they are perfect for the bike. Paired with a nicely broken in sprung brooks for the stoker, the bike has plenty of suspension for the stoker. We intentionally hit a bunch of bumps and potholes to find the limits of comfort.
For those new to tandems, as the captain, it’s your responsibility to warn your stoker about bumps. For the poster who was concerned about tires clearing the brakes. The Super Motos are 2.4” and clear the brakes just fine. You need to unhook the brake. Keep in mind that the posts are really far apart. I’m running the stock rims that Rivendell offers for these tandems. A narrower rim might pose some issues with tire clearance but if you went with the Alex rims or the Velocity Cliffhanger, you should be fine. You will really enjoy your bike.
