Front Tire on 06 Street Bob ?
I've looked around, but haven't found an answer to the largest front tire that would mount on a Street Bob without having to make alterations.
Does anyone know, or better, has anyone mounted a wider tire on the oem rim?
Thanks, policepop
Thanks for the info, I really appreciate the response and think I'll go for the 110 at my first opportunity.

the 100 is the widest you can get on that 2.50 stock rim.
anything else will require a wider rim laced to the stock hub.... a bunch of us have done it... most of which went to a 21inch while we were at it.

dont quote me but i am pretty possitive... hell i am putting it on mine... i was told that 120 is pushing it over the limit but also can be done... so i opted for the 110... it was also free from a buddy's dirt bike shop... the guy had the tire pulled and never came back... so he gave it to me.

Joe,
would you believe one harley dealership couldn't true my wheels because they didn't have one of the 'new' truing tables
another told me i'd have to pay at least 500.00
....by the way, don't mean to hijack a thread... just recovering from the idiocy of harley dealerships and need help coping...LOL!

Here's a nice chart that outlines the stock sizes and max sizes (without modifications) for various model bikes. http://www.hdwheels.com/Product.htm They list a 120/70-21 as the max for the front. But like Joe said, that might be pushing your luck on a 2.5" rim. I'm assuming they're stating the 120 max tire size when paired with a 21" x 3.5" rim. Cheers, J
