Tire questions

979 Views 4 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  SoftailBilly
I need some information regarding rear tire sizes. I have a 2011 heritage softail and am wondering what the widest tire I can run without changes to the belt or swing arm. I currently have the stock tire (which I am replacing after only 6200+ miles) that is a 150/80B16 but would like to go wider. All input is appreciated and thanks.

I dont have a comment on tire size but I recommend Metzeler tires. I just replaced the crappy Dunlop tires on my Fatboy with Metzeler 888's and they ride great so far and look way better. All the reviews are excellent and say longer tire life than the Dunlops.
150 is max due to rim width.

Put ME 888's on my bike during MB Bike Week. Up to now I am happy and the ride feels more stable and comfortable.
