Car Tire on a Harley 16" Front Rim
[B]Does anyone Know what tire will fit on a stock Harley 16 x 3.5 front rim?
Has anyone ever done this?
Is there a secret to getting it on the rim?
Before you ask, here is the deal:
I have a V8 trike.
The front weighs 750 lbs.
The weight rating of a motorcycle tire is around 783--827 lbs.
I would feel a whole lot more secure if those numbers were a lot further apart.
A smaller car tire has a weight rating of 1750--2000 lbs.
Thanks to all.

Car Tire on a Harley Front Rim
[B]I was told that there are 3 or 4 tires that are just about the same size as a stock tire for a 16 inch
Harley rim.
The car tire MUST be the same size otherwise it would not fit in between the forks.
There is very little rake and the front forks are the stock forks that came off a 2005 Harley Fatboy, so I should be OK.
There is very little lean on the front end, so the flatter tire should be fine.
Thank you for the reply.[/B]
