Vlad, 660 lbs might be marginally acceptable for my little Sportster rig, but wouldn't work at all on your Goldwing outfit.

coker also has a 500r/16 steel radial and a 550r/16 steel radial - both *should* fit in hd swingarms - the 500 is a shoe in, the 550 might be tight - the issue is rim - they claim they want a 4" to 5" rim and widest easy to get harley rim for pre 09 models is 3.5" - parts are availiable to make a 4.25" rim for pre 09's but there is no point till somebody has a tire and sees what it will mount to.....
im planning on getting one to try this spring - somebody has to be the guinea pig to see if it will mount up... well when swimbo lets me spend the bux......

660lb may be good for rider only. I need to calculate weght of 4 butts on my bike.
the coker steel radials are 500r16 is 80H, the 550r16 is 88H
plenty high enough for a gold wing or harley
its strictly a issue of will they fit stock wheels or need "special wheels"
- and i wont know for a while yet... *sigh*

I'm looking at the Bridgestone 195/60/16, 25.3" diameter, 6.1" tread width, or 195/55/16, 24.4" diameter, 7.4 tread width for the rear of my 2010 StreetGlide. I think there is about 3/8" of clearance available on each side for one or the other.
OEM Dunlop is a 180/65B/16 (7.09" wide).

LOTS and LOTS of radial car tires will fit the back of 09 and later harleys a 2010 is really advanatagous for a sidecar
you probably "want" to put a trike trans sprocket on it and a trike crank compensator - but it will run just fine as is

I opted for stock gearing and a Stage II SE big bore conversion.

going 103 is a good idea
the 30 tooth trans sprocket is really for first gear issues -
the current stock trike is 30 tooth 103 without the 255 cams
im going to change my trans sprocket simpley because i have a 3/8 rock in my belt and need a new sprocket in the first place - besides its only 75 bux for the trike sprocket
either way your 103 street glide will really haul, my 96" ultra / tle i can set the cruise on 85 and it "just goes" - over 60 is when the wrist pain came in and why i put a liberty tree on........
really spoils my expectations.. fast and comfortable....

I run a 16" car tire on the rear of my Triumph Rocket and it really is a huge upgrade in terms of traction, braking, and durability. I too want a car tire for the front, but have had no luck finding one tall and narrow enough for my bike, but its far less impt than the traction gains I get from the rear.
