NO ONE makes a radial in a 100/90-19 profile. The construction of a radial requiresan aspect ratio along the lines of a 120/70 or similar proportions.
Most vendors say you can mix a rear radial and a front bias, but I haven't done so.
Thanks for the info chandler.

I'm curious where you picked up on the construction proportionrequirements.

Mud- the only Dunlop front radials I am seeing on their site fo a 19" wheel is the D208 ZR 120/70ZR/19, but it needs a 3" rim.
All the other model Harleys I see with a rear radial are using a biased ply on the front.

Thanks Doug. Appreciate the input.

Do you have a link to the page that gives the rim size info??

Mud-If you check the J&P website, on radial tires, it says you cannot put a radial tire on the front of a "big twin". I don't know why. Everybody else that sells them says it's O.K. I will be watching what you come up with.
Yeah rider, seems to be a lot of different opinions on radials.

The HD accessories catalog lists a 19 " Screamin' Eagle front tire #40554-04.
GT502F 100/90-19
Doesn't state whether it is a radial or not.
I do believe this is the tire I will be going with joe.
Thanks for the #.

That is a sweet tire for sure. For those of us that have lowered the bike
has anyone had any issues with rubbing on any of the turn signal
hardware tucked up in the rear fender?
I will be watching this mud cause tires are my next mod.
Hughey, if you keep the wiring routed properly there will not be an issue.
And doublecheck after a few miles.

HD also offers a very nice kit to prevent problems.

Let us know how they handle, I'm going to need to replace both tires in a couple of months.

Mud, Give us a good review. I'm probably going with the same ones in a few weeks. I'm curious if that centerline tread is gonna track the grooves in the roads.

I'd have the same concern about that center groove. I'd be interested to hear how it does.
