Default Question 2002 FLHR tire size ??

What is the stock rear tire size for a 2002 Road King? Trying to size Michelin Commanders and I am coming up with conflicting info. I Might have the wrong size tire on my bike. ( I couldn't find any tire size in the whole d@#n service manual )

go to the "do it yourself" section on this forum
then to the "chassis, suspension, etc" subheading
about 6-7 lines down, there is a thread titled "harley rim sizes"

that will give you the stock wheel and tire sizes, and the max wheel and tire sizes you can use without major modifications.
hope that helps.

The rear tire is an MT90 Dunlop. I got rid of mine for a Pingel Rear Sprocket Spacer for $ 25.00 and now have been running the MU85, stock on 2004-and-up FLH series HD's. BIG difference and no other mods required.
