Just picked up new 2011 P & A catalog and was checking out prices on the 19" tire vs the 18" tire.

#55055-11 19" Front D408 130/80B19 $151.95

#44026-9A 18" Front D408F 130/70B18 $165..95

Doesn't make sense to me. The 18" tire is used on more models, 09"CVO Roadies, 10" & 11" FLHX & FLHXSE & is more expensive then the new

19" tire for the 2011 FLHXSE2. I know it's only $14.00 difference, but you would think that the new 19" tire would cost a lot more $$$$$.

Good for the folks that are getting the New Street Glide. Cheaper tires price & 6 speakers!

Makes (MoCo) sense to me.... more bikes out there using the smaller tire means they will sell more of them which makes them more profit.

Actually that's my thoughts too. However, just like the cars & trucks tires I thought a "Bigger", "Newer" tire would cost even more. Either way, I not

getting rid of my 09 CV roadie for a long, long time. Just wanted to pass this info on.

they're putting that tall of a tire on the street glide??? its 2" taller... y??

[hdnik]

Not taller... exactly the same OD as the 18". Yellowbird made a typo.

55055-11 is TIRE,FR,130/60B19 D408F,61H

[YELLOWBIRD]

Not sure if it's a typo or not. Just rechecked the new catalog and that's the size of the tire.
