my 2013 ultra limited has a 180/65/16 on the back. what size ct is the best for this size mt? what size are you ultra guys running? Thanks in advance!

 

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.

 

Deleted.... Sorry, wrong post.

 

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?

 

What does everyone else use?

I've got the Yokohama Avid Ascend on a 2012 Road King. It's been doing good, getting ready to try the double dark side. Front tire is about worn out.

 

First a little thread hijacking....
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 run a 195 60 on mine. Forget which brand.

 

I have a 2010 rg and have a yokahama run=flat 195-55-16 run 28lbs like it real well.

 

I have run several BT45's on the front. The first 4 or 5 I ran in the normal direction, but I was seeing a lot of tearing in the rubber. The last one I had on had a lot of seriously deep gaps where the rubber ripped open. It only had 11K miles on it and still had good tread.

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.
