you can use a 205 or a 195.
I suggest you go with a Michelin Alpin ZP. I think they come in a 195 55 16.
I just went from that to a Yokohama to try something different. I should have stuck with the Alpin.

195 60 16 is about right
Size works real well on my 2013 flhtc.
I have it in Yokahama AVID ASCEND 20K ON IT. Rides good and handles well at 29lbs . Had one on two different bikes, A 2011 RK and the 2013 flhtc.
New on each and around 20k on each one, no flats or problems. Good in rain and dry. Just sayin
Has anyone tried an Kumho Ecsta PA31?

I am about to go double dark also, looking at a BattleAx BT-45 in a 150 size. Gonna run it normal direction. How about you?
Now an answer to the OPs question.
I am running a G-Max 205-55-16 with Ride On tire sealant to balance it. My air pressure is 37 psi cold.

I changed it out and mounted the new one in reverse orientation. I've got 14K on this one and no rips yet. I'm not saying the mounting direction made the difference. I'll have to wait and see.
