I don't usually mess with car tires on my bikes BUT............
Does anyone know of an auto tire replacement for a Harley 180/65B/16 rear skin?

Been there,
I found a couple of references to the 195/60/16 . Bridgestone and dunlop seem to be the only ones carrying this size. Between $75. and $150. with Dunlops the highest of the two.
I'll follow up on this when I've burnt through my Original Harley Dunlop skin.
I couldn't find anything for my 2008 FXDL that had 17" wheels but the 195/60/16 tire matches up well with the 180/65/16. It's .60" wider but the rest of the dimensions are the same, even the revolutions per mile. I would imagine the Harley rim being a bit less wide than an auto rim would take care of that small difference.

Lonnie, I've recently put a Dunlop sp7000 car tire on my 09 Ultra Classic..replace a 180/60/16 dunlop mc tire with a 185/55/16...don't know if the 195/60/16 ct will clear the frame. Doc Wobblin
