My rear tire needs to be replaced. Is the D401 (OEM) a good option for a basic cruiser tire. (rarely ride above 70mph)

The Stk size is 150/80 B16..........doesn't look like there is much room for a larger size to me. The original tire is only about 7/16" from hitting the belt guard.

Did a search but really did not find an answer.

 

Can't help for that specific question. But, on a 99, stock is 140, running a 150. About 3/16" clearance, eyeball wise. No problems.
Have always read up 1 size should not be a problem.

 

Is the D 404 a better rear tire then the D 401?

 

I think the D404 is for metric cruisers...

 

That said, does anyone know if that matters?

 

Guess I'll just order a D 401 HD type tire and get on with life!
OEM 150/80 B16

 

No real difference between tires except the damn HD $$$$$ logo mark up.

 

Not bad from Dennis Kirk....HD 150/80 B16.....$131.98 delivered.
