Harley Road King Question

I was checking the set up on my new (to me) Road King Classic and Liberty sidecar. Any way I checked the front and rear tire width and found that on my bike the rear tire is narrower than the sidecar tire or the front tire. This seems strange to me. I thought the rear tire was most often wider than the front?

Different mfg'rs tires have different dimensions and profiles. Or maybe a front tire is on the rear. They sometimes are narrowerin tread width.

TAKE YOU MEASUREMENTS OFF OF THE RIM THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE CORRECT MEASURING POINT.MINE IS - 5/8" IN FRONT OF THE FRONT WHEEL AND IT TRACK'S PERFECTLY.ALSO THE BIKE LEAN IS 1% LEAN OUT.

Got it today after several adjustments. The previous owner had 1.25 inches of toe in. I was getting a lot of woggle on the bars. I adjusted the toe in to 7/16 and I did the lean out by feel . Nuetral bar pressure at 55 on the highway.
