2013 wide glide tire question - for buddy
A buddy of mine has a 2013 wide glide and wants to go bigger on his tires. His stock is:
Front - 80/90-21
Rear - 180/60-17
I believe you can go to a front 90/90-21, am I wrong?
And what is the largest for the rear? He doesn't want to swap rims or do any modifications. I ride a road glide and he is kinda internet lacking skills so I said I would do some research.
Your replies are kindly appreciated.

The problem with the rear wheel is that it is only 4.5" wide. It is hard to find a 180 that will fit. Harley and Pirelli I believe are the only ones that have one designed for the 4.5" wheel.
That's why the Screamin Eagle 180 is so much money.
He could fit a 200 under the rear IF he changed wheel, but you said he did not want to change.
He can go up a bit in the front like you said, but without a rim change, he is pretty much stuck.

I have a 2011 Wg. As soon as I burn up this set of tires I'll go to the 90/90 front and a 200 rear. Guys are running the 200 on the stock 5.5" rim. Even tho it really sould have a wider rim. I believe the 2008 Hd Cross bones ran a 7"rim with a 200mm tire. Check tire recommendation for rim width.
