Hey Ducedan

If you're keeping the stock rim go with the 180 they put
on the screaming eagle deuce.

Take A look At Metzeler's.
There 170/60VR-17 Is Areal good tire (It's A radial).
It fill's the fender up real nice.

Can you run a bias tire on the front with a radial in the rear???? I like the idea of a 170 on a Deuce.
