Default Federal Formosa 175/60/16
I'm on a darkside Facebook group, and a guy had success mounting this 175/60/16 on his 06 touring bike (Road King). He says it was a straight bolt in. The 04-06 pulleys are 1 1/8.

Was wondering same thing, depending on which rear tire he was running most of them are 25.3-25.6 inch's and the Formoza is 24.3 so a little more torque and rpm's at cruising speed. Maybe op will give a review.

Careful, one brand of tire may fit while another won't. Ask him what brand/model it was.
