Default Anybody running a 17/55-200 tire?

I had new tires and wheels installed and have a issue with the belt rubbing the tire.
It is back in the shop and hope to get it sorted out but it will be a couple of days before they can get to it.
While I'm waiting, are any of you fellows running a 200 wide tire on your touring bike?
Thanks
Buff

Got a 200 Metz on RC Component rim on mine. Have about 1,000 miles on it since putting new rims and tires on and no problems. I'm assuming it's very noticeable if the belt is rubbing ?? I do know the HD Tech said it was a very tight fit with the 200 but it fit. Looks great IMO.

Ran a 200/55 on my rear agitator with no problems.

The fitted width of tyres can differ between brands and be greater or smaller than the nominal width, so one brand like Metzeler may work OK, but another brand may be just a little wider.

I have a 200 metzeler on a Performance Machine wheel. I haven't noticed any problems.
