Default Tire Options for 04 Ultra

I have an 04 Ultra (FLHTCUI) that I would like to go Darkside with. I've run c/t on other bikes. I'm on my third tire m/c tire this year. The stock tire is an MU85B16. What are the options for a c/t? Size? Thanks

Nobody knows or they just aren't telling but my research revealed that a 5.00 or 5.50 R16 vintage car tyre will fit a where a 130/90 x 16 goes but it is likely to be more expensive than a motorcycle tyre and hard to find anyway.

04 ultra has a 3.5 inch wheel the only thing that fits it is austone its made for the british taxis can't remember the size i believe it was 175/85 or 90 16. there was another company making it valdestrian think they discontinued or went under the valdestrian got better reviews for the pre 09 baggers.

I think the company your referring to is Vredestein Tires. I did a brief check and the only size for a 16 inch rim is the 185/75 however I may not be navigating the sire properly. That tire was the Vredestein Comtrac 2
