Big Tire on 2007 Street Glide
Just trying to find out what is the largest tire I can put on the rear of my 2007 Street Glide without having to use a new fender, swingarm, and crazy stuff like that. Any information you guys can give me will be of great assistance. Also if you have done this kind of conversion could you please include pictures and let me know how it handles.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Elite 3's....that's the secret. 160/80-16 fits just fine, thank you. Awesome tire; your bike will handle way better.

I have a 150 on it now. So it sounds like a 160 is it then. Thanks for the help! Anyone with pictures from the rear, please post them just out of curiosity.

Elite 3 - 160. Close but fits. One warning though: If you are putting this on a street glide, don't lower the bike anymore that it already is as you "could" burn the wiring harness under the fender. This tire is a little taller than stock.

Got 9k out of my 160, went back to the 140 because I didn't like how the it got fairly flat on the bottom, I don't know how those guys with the really fat tires do when they get worn. Yes I rode a lot of curves with that tire. I had two road trips on it, one two up and one alone but at pretty goood speed which hurts the tire life. I usually can only get 8k out of the 402 so I don't know the secret but I don't puts around.
