Default Will It Fit?
Does anyone know if a 205/60/16 will fit on the back of a 2015 Ultra Limited?

Yes. There are only a couple of Harleys listed, none of them are 2015 FLHTK or 2015 Ultra Limited.

Don't the 2009 to 2016 have the same tire size?

I don't know. This is my first Harley. I only have 1/2 inch clearance between the belt and the side of the stock rear tire now. It has a 180/65/16 on it. I did some measuring and my biggest concern is belt clearance on the sidewall.

Plenty of room. Everyone (with 2009 or newer bikes) running either 205-55/16s or 205-60/16s. Only difference is 60 are tiny bit bigger in dia thus making you speedo read more accurately. Both are the same width.

You were right PFWIZ. It does fit but just clears the belt by a hair. Haven't test rode yet. Gotta go to bed so I can make it to work tomorrow.
