Tire size for a 2007 road glide

Others' opinions will be different, but here's mine:
I, too, have an '07 Road Glide. It's got the stock-size Dunlop "MU" series rear tire on it (2nd one I've had on).
For some reason, the mileage life of this rear tire has been 'way longer than any other rears I've gone through (and I've gone through quite a few).
Generally, I would get 11,500-12,000 miles out of a rear tire (going back to my earlier 2000 FLTR).
With this one, it's up over 16,750, and there's still tread left. Not sure what they've done to improve tread life, but this is more than noticeable. Could be a fluke -- just don't know.
I'll stick with the Dunlop MU when it's time for a new one. They do ok by me.

The widest tyre recommended for a 3" stock rim is 150/80 and they are available with a load rating of around 77. I have used Avon in that size, which is pretty well the same rolling diameter as an MU (or MT). Check carefully if you buy one, as they are also available in lower load ratings, for lighter bikes. Avon make a V rated version that is suitable, which is a little wider, but also softer - grips fast, but also wears fast!
