Default 180/70-16

Will a 180/70-16 fit on a stock rear rim on a dyna super glide 2003?
Is there anyone running one of these?
How do you like it?

It depends on the tire. Not all tires are meant to fit on Harley rims, due to the smaller rim widths. I have a 180/60-17 Pirelli Night Dragon on my 07 FXDB.

Tires that work:
Pirelli Night Dragons
Avon Storm 2
Metzler 880
Dunlop Harley

Gommee,
Thanks for the response. Does it change the ride any? Do you have any pics of it on your ride?

With the '03 stock 3.5" rim the largest you can run is a 150/80-16.

it may fit the wheel but wont look right and will be crowned. the 3.5 wheel is too narrow. I dont think the 180 will fit inside the fender with out rubbing or clear the belt with oout going to a 1" belt kit. a 160/80 or 160/70 should fit no problem.
