The trinucleon system is considered as the bound state of three-nucleons interacting via spin and isospin dependent two-body central and noncentral tensor potentials. The hyperspherical expansion approach transforms the trinucleon Schroedinger equation to an infinite set of coupled second order differential equations only in one variable being the hyperradius. By a suitable selecting of the orthonormal basis of the wave function expansion using an optimal subset, the infinite set of coupled equations is reduced to a limited number of coupled equations to be solved practically. The trinucleon binding energy and the associated wave function are numerically calculated using spin and isospin dependent two-body central and noncentral tensor interactions. The central part of the potential is taken to be the exponential, Yukawa and Gaussian types with and without soft core. The charge form factors of the trinucleon system are also calculated and used to deduce the energy difference between the {sup 3}H and {sup 3}He nuclei. The present calculations using the optimal subset are in good agreement with the experimental measurements and with previous calculations from the variational and Faddeev methods. The tensor forces are found important and improve the results considerably.
