Have a 1800vtx N, ( 2006 if it matters)

Without doing any modifications, what is the largest c/t I can put on the rear ???

Any help with brands / places to buy would be greatly appreciated !!!

Right now, I have a 180/70R/16 on the rear. 150/80R/17 on the front. I assume I should go back with same size m/t on the front??? Avon Cobra ??? Best place to buy this tire???

Looking forward to getting this done, and will post my thoughts after completed.

Thanks,
Mike

I have a 2005 VTX1800 N and I went with a Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread 205/60/16.. I am running 38psi in the tire and just got back from a 1300 mile ride to Niagara Falls. One of the best decisions yet the tire handles great. It is a tight fit and you have to let the air out to slip the tire past the rear diff but after it is on it fills the N's rear fender and no rubs!!!greazman(Rich) Cool
