I did the Michelin Macadam 50 160/70-17 rear and Commander MH90-21 up front. So far, I like them better than the stock Dunlops.

Yep, the SE tire was designed for the 4.5" Dyna rim.

I'm thinking I'm going with a Avon Storm 170/60/17.

The SE 180 looks great! But very expensive now, unfortunately. Harley keeps jacking up the price on that tire, so I refuse to buy it anymore. Not all 180's will fit though.. that SE180 was designed to specifically fit our 4.5" rims.

Thanks for the info. A 170 should fit without problems then.

Nah...watch ebay...I bought mine from someone here for 150 shipped. I missed one on ebay that went for 160 I think. Other people on here have bought the Metzler (or another brand) that is a 180/55B17, it's just a sidewall height difference. Do some poking around on here. Nows the perfect time to do a nice upgrade. Here's a shot of mine just installed.
