The 125/85-16 tires (sold by Dauntless) seem to be the only flat tread tires available that will fit a Harley FLH (any others?).
Are they better than standard Dunlops for a sidecar rig? Do they handle better? Last Longer? Make you coffee in the morning?
I'd like to hear from anyone thats run them.

Thanks.
Wally

ive had no problems on the front or sidecar - they seem to last as long or longer - handle better, ride better

but they dont have the capacity for rear [well two light folks it might be ok - weigh the thing to find out] - im running a 145r15 rear tire

I did run across this one.

http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/5437,448_Firestone-Nostalgia-Tires-Ribbed-Front.html?itemNo=tire

It lists a 5.9" cross section which works out to about a 150.

Maybe not a good sidecar rig candidate as the tread pattern is ribbed. Just throwing it out there for discussion as it is hard to find any tires around this size.
