Will this whitewall tire fit my Harley Touring or Softail model?
This 100/90-19 whitewall tire is suitable for many Harley Touring, Softail, and Dyna models. We recommend using our Shop by Bike tool and checking your bike's tire placard to confirm specific fitment and compatibility with your year and model.
What is the benefit of aramid belting in a bias-ply tire?
Aramid belting helps to reduce tread distortion under load, which translates to better stability and more consistent grip, especially during highway cruising and cornering on your V-twin.
Does this tire require an inner tube, given its bias-ply construction?
No, this tire features a tubeless (TL) bias-ply construction. If your Harley has tubeless rims, an inner tube is not required. Always confirm your rim type before installation.

I had previously purchased one of these to replace my rear tire and wanted to have matching tires on the front and rear. The thick black sidewall and vintage tread seem to catch everyones eye. I've heard mixed feelings about the performance of these tires in wet conditions. I've ridden around town a little while it was raining (30-40MPH) I didn't notice any issues.
This tirehad the flat tread profile I desired for my trike dyna low rider. Easy installation, bead seated easily, and balanced without a ton of weights. About 200 miles on out and it pushes less than Dunlop tires do when taking off. I hope they keep making this tire.
Put these on my Side Car tug, a Moto Guzzi Cal II. It has 16" rims to make it geared somewhat lower. The tires have made the rig handle 100% better and they look great too! As far as tread life this is just a projection from what I have heard.
Nice fit<br />Gives the old scoot some character <br />Ride On
Old style, Goodyear tread pattern, a good tire for older bikes that need to style good for Sidecar use
Great looking tire for my vintage bike. On the front is where these really shine. Really has the old school look and last a long time. Perfect tire pressure is 36 lbs. <br /><br />On the rear you don't see much of them on my bike because of the bags. They only last about 4000 miles and I don't horse it around a lot, some, but not all the time. I'm going to put a normal cruiser tire on the rear.<br /><br />Rated 5 stars for the look on the front and 3 stars for millage on the rear. That makes it about a 4 star rating.
