Default 2008 Street Glide Rear Tire Size

Has anyone sucessfully found or put a wider rear tire on their street glide without changing the original rear wheel or any other equipment, or is it best to stick with OEM reccomendations for rear tire size.

Just wondering

i used a mu-90-16 dunlop elite 3 and could not be happier. there is 1/8" clearance between the sidewall and the right side of the upper fender. about as close as you can get. the mt-90-16 is the right one for the front. and trust me, those elite 3 tires don't exhibit any butt wiggle while riding on rain grooves, and also supposed to have much more mileage in them than the stock d-402's iclick has lots of information on this subject. check out his threads. my e3's handle much better than the stock d-402's also, and cost me 111 for the rear through dennis kirk. the best price i found.
