Ride Wright ! Now to tires
 
With all the info from the great riders on here, going with Ride Wright 21x 3.5 front and 16 on the rear. Now to tires.
1) Should I run my stock tire for the 16 on the rear? or is there a better way to go.
2) With all the negative press about V rubber and the positive about Diamond back. What is the best 21" white wall ?
This is for my 08 Deluxe. Any help would be appreciated !!:icon_handball:

Avon or Metzeler. Either will do, Avon's cost a bit more I think both handle well. Stock tires= garbage. You know I can get you a discount on the RW rims, right?

I like the Avons for the rear tire and I use Vee Rubber for the front. I'm also running Ride Wrights as well. Bought all my stuff from Dr. V.

Hope to see your bike all hooked up soon. Email Drew at Dr. V he'll take care of you.

i prefer metzer tires...I had to stretch my tire across the rim and it worked out great

Go with Diamond Back Tires. You wont regret it. You can get Avon, Metz, Dunlop etc, in a 120/70/21 WW!!. Check out threads on the subject. I sent you some PM's

Thanks Country, got em. How long does it take to get Diamond back tire ?

i have a 2002 ultra, someone gave me a set of 2011 road glide wheels. what do i have to do, to get them to fit, the rear wheel is 5.00, 180/65/16 tire.. the front 3.5, 120/70/19 tire... please give really good details, i need a change, my 02 wheels look small as hell.

Yeah what stone said, it takes about a 5 days. But its a Quality WW. Worth the extra $100
