Default 180 rear tire
I want to know what rear tire is the best? What 180 rear tire gets the most miles? I don't burn out but I do ride a lot! Any help would be great!

If you do a search on here you will find the answer, but very briefly...if you have the standard rim the only choice in 180 is the SE Dunlop tire...and no you don't need the kit from HD..... : )

How is the SE on wet pavement? I'm here in SEA and I ride a lot in the rain.

I think Harley just approved a Michelin SE 180 tire.

They claim it's only for the SE Deuce, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on Dyna.

I'm guessing you've got a 17" wheel???

If you replaced it with a 16" wheel you could run a stock FXDF tire.
I'm on my third one, averaging 10,000+ miles on the 1st two.

A 16" wheel would also drop the rear a bit, you could also slide the fork tubes up the trees a bit as well.
