Default 17 Softail Deluxe rear tire 150/80 B16 will it fit?

I am currently running 140/90 B16.
But looking at a 150/80 B16, is any one running this tire on a Deluxe?

thanks

I’m sure it will. I ran a 160-80 for years under a heritage fender on my Train

Measure from the sidewall out to the edge of the belt, if you have more than 5MM- a little more than 3/16"- it'll probably fit.

Basically the same year Heritage comes standard with the wider tire Dunlop D401 150/80B16, not exactly the same fender but the spacing of the Belt, Wheels, etc. are all identical to the Deluxe.
I have a '16 model year Slim which is the same suspension and set up of the Deluxe and have installed a Continental ContiTour 150/80/16 instead of the Dunlop MU85 to fill the back end out and have plenty of clearance and no issues.


ContiTour 150/80/16

Thanks, I picked up the tires yesterday afternoon.
I still have some miles left on the ones I have mounted now.
