180 tire on dyna wide glide
Went with the GT502 on the front last time and only got 7k out of it which is really poor for a front tire. So this time went back to K591 on front since I got 12k last time. No noticeable difference with the GT502 to make it worth the poor wear.

But I run a Metzler 180/55ZR-18 on my Street Bob with a Hog Pro 6 pack 18 x 5.5 rear rim. The setup still has finger room on both sides, but make sure to tuck your signal wires out of the way so they don't rub. I don't have enough miles on mine to speak of the wear on it. But as long as you keep the proper tire pressure per their website guide you should get at least 9,000 miles out of the rear easy.

low mileage on the front tire, what psi are you folks using. I'm at 40-42 psi in the front.
I have 3,500 on my 21 inch front. i think I will get another 3,000 but the fellow I got it from run the front tire low psi so it cupped some. Still no shake.
but it did take some mileage off the tire. Rear tire, first new I got 2,700 miles on the 180 but that was my fault for playing too much.
I have 1,000 on the new tire it is wearing very good. I have a ss 106 and get running interstate speeds around 36-38mpg, back roads riding in a group around 46mpg.
