Question Those with the Heartland 250 Kit........

I have an '06 Nightrain, and am planning on going with the HL 250 kit here pretty soon, my question is.......

I've been told that there aren't very many styles and or good tires that run in a 250, that I would be better off going with a 240 or a 260. Now I myself love the look of a fat tire in the rear so I would much rather go with a 260 then downgrade to a 240, what are my choices in tires as far as the 260 is concerned? I wan't a good tire that I can take touring around with out having to worry about.

I'm heading up to Stugis this year, and will hopefully have my kit installed by then. Keep in mind that I live in South Texas and is quite a ride from here to there......

Any suggestions fellas?

That's one of the reasons why I wanted to jump to the 260, because I don't believe metz makes a 250.

I'm currently running a 200 metz as well.
