Default Wide glide front tire
I have an 05 wide glide with the 21" front wheel. The stock tire size is MH90B21 or 80/90/21. What is a tire size that is a little beefier I can use on my stock wheel/front fender?

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.
90/90-21 is your size option, more meat to protect the rim.
Most grip for a cruiser tire, Avon Cobra or Cobra Chrome.

But check your rear tyre as well. If worn do not put a new tyre on the front without putting new on the rear.

Btw, just to stop a possible misinterpretation, @Blue Bob 's front tire isn't a 90/90-21 (although it is an Avon)
