I understand this is all about FL bikes.
How does the tire grab when the engine is torqued. You know with the hammer down.
I have a 05 dyna super glide that I needed to do something to.
I need some traction off the line. Better mileage would be a plus..
All it does is spins through first and most of the way through second.
I do not expect it not to spin but would like to get it to grip some better.
Trying to avoid going with a 180-200 tire kit.
I don't think it will. A 150 will fit on an 05 06 07 08 but not the 03 so I figure the car tire will also be too wide.
yea like 05 , 06 , 07 & 08 or something like that was a size wider than the older bikes then 09 went wider again , and the add says popular for use , did not say designed for , but still interested , I am getting around 13000 out of my E3s

I have a Avon 140 on my 02 now and it measures 5 3/8 wide with a 1/8 between the tire and belt, anyone measure the taxi tire inflated on the rim and see if its 5.5 like they say It might fit on mine?
I'll let ya'll know everything I can about this tire "Austone taxi tire 175R16" from Universal tire co. Just google Universal tire 175R16 Austone tire and ya'll know as much as I do for now. I could have it by weeks end. Hope so.

I have ridden bikes with wider tires all the way up to 300. The contact patch doesn't seem to really help. The wider they are it seems,the worst they are in the rain. If a CT doesn't end up working for you,why not buy a super soft,sticky crotch rocket tire?
Just my thoughts,hope they help.....
