Default 180 tire on dyna wide glide

Anyone install one of HD's 180 tires on their 06-09 Dyna? I have an 06 wide glide and it sure looks like it would be a tight fit. Any advice would be great. Thanks

Not sure about the '06`s, but on my '07 Wide Glide I went with a 180/55/17 rear. It clears ok but not with a lot of extra space. The stock tire is a 160/60/17.

5500 miles is the most i"ve gotten out of a 180,the softer compound doesnt last as long as the stockers.

Are you guys using the SE 502 front that matches the 180 rear ? If so what kind of mileage are you getting ? Mine is starting to cup already and it only been 2500 miles.
