Default Can't Find A Car Tire

I have a 200mm RC rear wheel on my 06 Road Glide. The bike also has an FBI fat tire kit which moves the belt out an additional 1/2" and a wider swing arm. I currently have a 200mm/55/17 MT on the bike.
I can't find a source for a 195/55/17 CT. I tried installing a 205/55/17 but the tire doesn't clear a few parts on the frame.
I've searched the internet but can't find a source for a 195/55 or 65/17 CT.

I am not sure if there is such an animal as a 195/55-17 car tire.

Seems to me I have read about another HD that uses that size and the fact that their owners can't find a CT to fit. I think it was Wide Glides maybe?

Anyway I am afraid you may be out of luck.

Sorry

I found that Yokohama sells a 195/45/17 tire with a symmetric tread. The Goodyear Eagle tire that I tried (see picture) has a varying tread pattern across the tire suitable for one side of a car. the Yokohama may be a lower profile tire but I think it will work. The problem I'm having is with the 17" wheel.
