FXCWC Rear wheel question
FXCWC Rear wheel question
I've a stock 18x8 rear rim with 240 setup on my 2008 FXCWC.
It's time to change my tire.
How big can I go with the stock setup?
I'm thinking of upgrading to a 260, if so what is the best tires in the market for this?
Finally by going bigger in the rear is my ride gonna get more bumpier and not so pleasurable or should I just stick with the 240?

I run a 260x35x18 on the stock back wheel of my rocker c. It's a Vee Rubber tire. It fits very snug, but fits. I ran it 3 days in moderate rain including highways on a trip and it never skipped a beat/felt solid. This tire comes out of the factory in asia that makes the HD tires on the new bikes now. Good price also. I have 6k on it so far.
I usually run Metzler or Dunlop and have had good luck with them also. The 35 height lets the bike sit a smidge lower, very nice. Like Kowen said, do a search, folks have had good luck putting 260 metz on also. I have had good luck with the vee rubber, but I may go with a dunlop next time or a metz, just change it up a little. The vee was almost half the money of the metz...Dunlop is priced good. Good luck.
