hey all. new member here and first post. i just picked up a new to me 1995 flstn. a little history, i bought one back in 95 but had to sell in 97. regretted ever since but found one with 8k miles and couldn’t pass it up. it’s pretty mint except the white walls are hard as a rock so i’m looking to pick up a set.

seems there are a few brands and models so i was wondering what the best size to run these days? i’m hearing different people with a 150 rear will rub and others are fine. could it be brands vary? i always liked dunlops so am looking for advice on which ones. i’ll need fronts too. here’s a pic of my bike

 

I run Avons on my 98 RK. Whitewall up front and black in the back. Good grip on them.

I've always run Avons, front and rear, WWW's. The grip, in any weather, can't be beat. I've never tried to get a wider tyre for it, never saw a need.

 

Dunlop American Elite is a great tire. Available in WWW and IMO a lot better than the factory D402.

 

aren’t the OG ww’s american elites? just ordered a set of 402’s today and hoping it isnt the one with the harley davidson script along the sidewall.

 

Unless you ordered the D402s from a dealer they won't have Harley branding on them.

 

American Elites and 402's aren't the same. The tread pattern is different. Way different.

OE are D402's.

Agreed, The American Elite is way better IMO...better traction and wet weather handling.
