Default tires

I know tires are a personal thing but I was wondering what are some suggestions for my 07 ultra other than Dunlap. I would like to put the widest tire I can get on the back.

I got 2007 flhx and I hate the look of those dunlops. I've been looking at the Pirelli night dragons. Look at Rocky Mountain atv. They have some good deals.

I installed Michelin Commander two on my last bike. A 07 CVO ultra and was very happy with them. Very smooth tires. Great ride.

If you don't have one already, the widest tyre you can fit on the stock rim is a 150/80 rear. Any more than that and you risk contact with the fender, which isn't much wider, as well as between tyre and belt. I understand that a CVO fender will allow a wider wheel and tyre, which will probably get you to a 160 or 170 wide tyre, but the current width tyres require some serious surgery.
