Default Front this time. (Double dark help)

I've had the Vredstein Quatrac SL 195/60R16 on the back of the 2014 Ultra Limited for a little over a year / 15,000 miles now. Although it has tread wear obviously, it still looks essentially new.

The Dunlop American Elite on the front is getting tired now, and I'd like to put a rear tire on.

Would you mind sharing what you have and how you like it please? Will I have to get a new wheel, or is there a wider tire that will fit my stock wheel?Stock tire is a 130/80 HB17.

Thanks!

You will need to go with a wide kit. Few different approaches on the market.
