Vintage tires for Nightster?
I have been searching the internet for a stock size rear tire (150/80B16 71H) with either vintage or knobby tread pattern. The biggest I have found is 500-16 which is (from what I have been told) 1'' narrower than stock.
I plan on replacing the stock size front tire with the widest tire that will fit (minus fender)
Here is a great site that I have found... If only I could find a wider rear tire.
^^ Tire- Avon MKII (AM7)^^

I ordered the Firestone 500-16 and i think they will look awesome. If you check the numbers, these seem to be the widest @ about 1/2'' narrower section width than a 150/80, but they are just over 1'' taller so that will help 'em look bigger.
here are some numbers for you
Firestone Deluxe Champ 500-16... 26.42'' tall, 5.35'' @ widest point (section width)
Coker classic 500-16... 26.25'' tall, 5'' section width
Avon safety Mileage MKII... 26.3'' tall, 5.2'' section width
Any tire marked 150/80-16... 25.4''tall, section width 5.88''
Hope that helps :]

The Indian Script is the same size as the Firestone if you want a different tread pattern.
