Frequently asked

What tire size does a Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic use?

GarageDex's powersports data shows the Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic runs a 130/80-NW17 front tire and a 180/65-NW16 rear tire. Tire sizes vary by year - see the table for each range.

What do the tire numbers mean?

A size like 130/80-NW17 reads as tread width (mm) / aspect ratio (% of width) - rim diameter (in). Match all three so the tire fits the rim and clears the swingarm and fender.

Do the Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide Classic tire sizes change by year?

Yes - fitment differs across the years we cover: 2012 runs 130/80-NW17 front / 180/65-NW16 rear; 2009-2011 runs 130/80-B17 front / 180/65-B16 rear; 2008 runs 120/70-ZR19 front / 240/40-R18 rear; 2007 runs MT90-B16 front / MT85-B16 rear. Match your exact year in the table.

Can I fit a different tire size?

Stick to the stock size - it's matched to the rim width, speedometer, and handling. A wider tire can rub the swingarm or fender and throws off the speedo, so only deviate on a shop's advice.
