08 CVO Springer Rear Tire?
« on: April 21, 2014, 11:19:31 AM »

Coming up on a rear tire change for my '08 Springer, I believe a 200 comes on it, how big of a tire can you put on it without modifying anything on the rear?  Suggested brands?  I ride normally - no burn outs, etc.  Just wanting a beefier look.

Stock is 200/55R17 78V, on a 6.00" X 17" rim.  The next size up in the Dunlop or Metzler catalogs is a 240, and it requires an 8.00" rim minimum.  Glancing through tire catalogs I don't come up with anything between the 200 and 240.
