Default Damn, another tire question

I have searched the forum and cannot find what the widest tire is I can put on a stock 09 Street Glide. Also, what does a wider tire on the front feel like, is that something I should do?

As always thanks for the help

I've talked to hogpro and they told me the same thing. I know it's not recommended, but kingkingking told me he was running the 200 metzler on a stock 09 road king 16" rim.
