I have a 2008 Softail Custom with the 21" front tire. The tire size is MH90-21. Can I use a tire that is 90/90-21? I believe this is one size bigger than factory tire. I've read on here some have used these, I just want to make sure this is safe. Thanks.

 

A 90/90-21 will fit perfectly; run them for ages now on 21" x 2.15" wheels. You will notice the difference in handling and stability.

And.... Pirelli Night Dragons, for the win

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

Have you tried the Avon? Thanks.

 

Never used Avon tires on an HD; I've been using Pirelli on all my Wide Glides. With my '13's rear wheel being a 17" x 4.5" I'm not comfortable spooning on an oversized Avon tire; it will pinch on the wheel and alter the tire's profile. Avon isn't doing a 180/60-17 so I'd need go use a larger sized rear tire.

Pirelli does manufacture a 180/60-17 which is the max size on a 4.5" wheel. Night Dragons have been flawless for me on my Wide Glides, their profile and composition bring the bike to life

 

I will look into them. BTW your bike looks killer!

Thanks again.

 

I used a Heritage wheel and tire on my 2000 Wide Glide, and I covered it with a fat boy front finder.

 

I believe Avon Cobra Chrome comes in a 180/60-17 although a bit pricey at $330.

 

Thinking 3 years on he might have decided....

 

No ****! Its for all the others with the same question, like me, until I just found this info out.
Thanks for your input.
