I can agree with Bulkhed because I was riding my 2010 with him, I ordered my rear tires through Diamond Back Classic Tires http://www.dbtires.com/. I ordered mine mainly because I wanted to have 3/8" white walls to match the front tire. Might be worth calling or sending an e mail and see if they have what you want.

I was hoping to see someone on here have BFG AT/KO tires installed on the rear for better snow traction... What brand tires did those friends go to if they did not use the stock tire on the back?

Yea but you have to have a balance. Running the AT/KO tires on the back just simply do not work at all with the stock front tire. I believe the recommended replacement for the front tire is a ski.

If you are going to replace the front tire with a ski you should go all out and put studded snow tires on the rear.

Well studded snow tires in back require an upgraded ski. I believe it is the one with the carbide inserts.

Default Which Tires are best?

My guess the stock tires are not the sport or premium model but I've had no problems with my 2012 Tri-Glide in rain or shine. I have studded snowtires for winter (see pic with GF). But I did encounter hydro-planing on my 2003 Motor Trike. I found that Mickey Thompson tires are absolutely greatt but expensive. I also found that towing a trailer will eliminate hydro-planing.
