Default 04 heritage softail darkside tire question

I have been scanning the dark side forum for information on running a ct on a flstc. The stock tire is a 150. Was wondering if anyone has ran a ct on the softball heritage and what size they chose to go with? Was thinking maybe a 160 or 170 or in that range would be where to start. Thanks in advance.

Been trying to find a good tire to use. but there is very little in the sizes your chart gave .. which was 175/75r16.. in fact nothing came up in that size tire. I have found 2 tires in 175/60r16. one is the Goodyear assurance. fuel economy tire the other is a winter tire, and I don't think it is what I want. They just don't make many tires in the sizes that fit the smaller back end of the older heritage. which is a 150/80b16 I believe. I might be stuck with mt's. I grab one of the goodyears and give it a try..

You should try finding one for a Dyna with 17" rim. There is only one available.
