Default Which 200mm Avon rear tyre to use

2015 street bob....6"x 17" rim


200 / 55 or 50.....would like H rated but all I can find are V rated?


Also not sure about radial? Plan to use stock scorcher 31 front for 2-3k more miles


Thanks

The 55 is the best match for minimal OD change from stock.

I've got about 5k miles on my Cobra rear and like it a lot. Radial and tubed in a laced rim. No issues.

That's the one I was looking at. It's only .1" larger diameter than the stock size tire. I actually didn't see a 200/50-17 in their chart, but it would be a couple tenths smaller diameter than stock. Either way, not much difference.
