@FLHTK14

I can only tell you what I went with on mine (see avatar pic). Like oil or handlebars it’s all down to preference. Mines a 2014 FLHTK also.
I run a Vredestein Quatrac SL 195/60R16. I ran 40 PSI to break it in for 200 miles, now I run 32 to 36 PSI depending on temp mainly. The tire doesn’t care how much pressure is in it really - I can’t tell any difference until it gets down near 30 then it feels spongy in hard corners. I beat the hell out of this bike in twisties and it eats corners up. Great braking and rain traction.
On the front I run the stock size American Elite at 40 PSI.
I use Ride-on sealer / balancer in both tires. Great for balancing, still leaked a bit with a large screw in the rear tire. String type plug fixed it right up.
Tag me with any more questions, I’d be happy to answer but don’t check this forum much.

On your 16 in wheel 195/60R16 is 5-6 tenths wider fits no problem height is same.
Avoid the Michelin A/s to squared off.
34-40 pounds
I do recommend ride on sealer. Not required Put I use it.
