Default FatBob Tyres (again sorry)

Sorry to drag this up again ,but I think the question might worth asking again,so here goes.
My 2011 FXDF needs new tyres,i'm thinking of fitting radials,but want to keep to stock sizes(or as near as possible),so just asking for latest recommendations, of Make etc.
Thanks,Graham.

Thanks for the replies,i'll check the Avon sizes,i'm not a tyre expert by any stretch,i just thought Radials had a more advanced construction than Bias,with the proviso about weight carrying,which should be ok on a Dyna,i'll check that also.
But I have been wrong before(a lot)

Bias can handle more weight and fits heavier bikes like hd, but again, Radials has been improved quit much over the time now. I can recommend pirelli night dragon and shinko 777, both bias and designed for cruisers.
