There are also 180 tires which will fit on a 17/4.5 inch rim (if that's what you currently have, you didn't say).

The only one I know of which will actually measure 180 when mounted on that rim (rather than being narrower), and is meant for that rim width, is the Dunlop GT 502. Only available from Harley dealers.

Right, there's the Pirelli too but it's not as wide I hear.

I wanted to chrome wheels and 21 swap up front anyway so I was trying to save some coin and do it all at once. But I think I'm just going to buy the Dunlop 180 and a set of progressive 412's and call it a day.

I'd have to check as I bought a set. Price all depends on finish, spoke count, etc.
