Default ?? 18 inch tire for FLHXSE3 rear 18x5 wheel

I ran a CT on my KAW Vulcan 2000 (125inch) and I liked it. Different, but OK.

Been casually looking for a CT that might work on my 2012 CVO Street Glide. 180/55B18 is stock. Really only place to get a MC Tire in the right load rating is at the HD Dealer for $$$.

If anyone here knows how to figure this out, help would be appreciated.

Don't forget you can run 190s and 205s also!

OIC
I did not understand that there appears to be no such thing as a 205/55-18.

Bummer... Not sure what the best answer is....

Default No problem

Well maybe one problem, Minimum order is 1 20 foot container.


Sorry, couldn't resist.


Seriously though, I would look to replace the rear wheel. Find a wheel that would take a reasonably priced tire. You would be $$ ahead in the long run.

I found a 180x45x18 speed rating 165, load rating 1443
It is a good year z series tire @ $159
I have been looking for months and this is the only one I have found.
I'll probably give it a try when I need one. You can also get the same tire that HD sells without the HD markings for $188
