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.

 

the 175 / 16 austone tire is about 5 & 3/4 inches WYD mounted on my 2004 Road King custom stock rim three and a half inches 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 still have quite a bit of tread left on my Commander II so it will be next year berfore i need one it looks like...Still following this to find out about durability.

 

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?

 

can you tell me the width of the 175r16 austone , want to see if it will fit my 1996 ultra classic ,got a voyager kit installed, cornering doesnt apply . now the 190 30 16 with a space of 1/4 inc belt & tire

 

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.....
