Dark side
Can anyone give me a tire make and size, car tire to replace the rear tire on my 1991 FLHTCU from those who have done it? 130 90 16. Price is not the object. Experiences and recommendations. Exact dimensions or very close please.
I would welcome PM's if one would prefer not get into the discussion :-)
Thanks, Frank

I watched his video yesterday BUT, that does not help you to find the size you need.

When the link failed I copied and pasted the whole post from the other forum. But I didn't notice that he was asking about a 130 tire not a 180 sorry. I've been interested in the dark side as well but have no experience. I shoulda kept out of the conversation......lol

On the 2020 with sidecar it was a little different due to factory wheels being 18 inch. We did get it worked out and it works perfect . Required a new new 16 inch wheel and a 195/65R16 to get everything as it should be. Most anything can be done if you are willing to keep at it.
We have a Car tire on the rear of a HD 750 street and matching car tire on the sidecar. Last week when I removed sidecar from the 2020 RGL for a bit I swapped out the wheels and put motorcycle tire back on . Quick easy job.
I do not personally recommend a Car tire on a two wheeled bike. I have done it and so have many others. I just see no reason for it with the AE 180's on the new bikes. 20,000 miles on rear even a little more some times makes it not worth the trouble IMO.
