Default 2016 FLHTK darkside interest

Can't seem to find much info on the 2016 Ultra Limited fitted with a car tire. 2014-2015 I have, but have read there is something different with '16 with a slimmer primary that effects tire width( read somewhere)??

It appears that the Bridgestone Driveguard runflat is popular, so looking to find that size for my 2016 Ultra Limited. Very interested in going darkside, so thanks for any input! Hopefully there is some experience on this criteria? Thanks

I have put a lot of time into this and still have no prefect answer. The Hankook Venyus V2 H457 looks like a tread pattern that would work well but it comes in 205/ 55-R16 a bit wide and not the same height as factory. The 195/60-R16 is about prefect but not a lot of options .
The 205/60-R16 is just a bit under an inch wider and slightly taller. 205/60-R16 is again about inch wider and slightly less height.
This one looks interesting and come is 195/60-R16
Achilles Platinum All-Season Radial Tire - 195/60R16 89H Down side to this one is finding one
Looking at Michelin X-ice Xi3 also
