Widest tire

[Engel6264]

I want to know what is the widest tire for wear and comfort that I can find?

I think your best bet is to stick with the OEM sizing.

the only way your going to get a wider tire is to go to the Dark Side. I don't think there is much difference in width on your MC tires
at least not a real noticeable difference
the dark side offers about 3 different tires, one is taller, one is shorter and one is much wider and in some cases just doesn't fit
do your research before you decide

While not the widest, the smoothest riding tire is the Austone . It also has a tall sidewall, which helps absorb bumps much better than something with a shorter sidewall. It is a six ply radial, has a superb load rating, wears like iron and sticks like glue-BUT- it is a car tire. It will steer slightly different, but after five minutes of riding, you won't notice it. It works as well with a bias front as it does with a radial. I have been running this tire (and a front radial) for a long time and a lot of miles. It's the best I've found for the 1500 Wing.

Out of curiosity would you care to share with us why you want a wider tire?

I also went dark side on my GL1500 with a voyager kit and the Austone is my tire of choice..."awesome"

The widest you can fit in the swing arm is a 195 CT, there is no more room for anything wider. I have been running a 195-55-16 for a couple of years now, it works well.

That's the max. steering tire for a GL1500? pc
