Tires Again
2007 Street Bob
Stock spoke wheels and suspension
Riding style - fairly agressive
Need a new rear tire. Old D407 170/60r 17 is shot and HD wants $254+ for a lnew one.
Thinking about the Dunlop Roadsmart II for the rear with a tube for the spoked wheel. Bike Bandit has this one for $129.95 shipped. I have read all the opinions on different tires and decided to stay OEM or close as I can get.
I have a D401 on the front (bias ply) I am wondering about the bias tire on the front with the radial on the back. Bad idea or doesn't matter?
Also, any suggestions for the widest front tire on the stock rim that stays under the fender?
