A Darkside Question
My 07 Streetbob has a stock 4.5 rim , and takes a 160/70/17. The biggest i can put on this rim is the harley Screaming Eagle 180/6-/17. The only car tire that comes close is the Yokohama 195/45/17 . Im wondering if anyone has tried this tire on there stock Dyna. The tire is $94 at Discount Tire. I looked at the size differences on both tires and believe it should fit. There is minor differences but i dont think they are major enough to cause problems.

All the guys I have seen who run car tires do so on the big cruisers. I have never seen one on a Dyna. I guess theres no reason you couldn't if you think it will fit, but a flat bottomed tire is one thing on a giant Wing or VTX, but a Dyna.... Its up to you.

That would be great if it does work because you could probably get 30,000 miles or more out of your tire. However, I would be concerned about leaning the bike. Car tires are not designed to be driven on the sidewalls.
