Harley Davidson Pan America Tyre Size
Harley’s Adventure bike (it still seems weird writing that) runs a 120/70/19 front tyre and a 170/60/17 rear tyre. That’s the same tyre sizes as the BMW R1200GS and R1250GS. So it’s a good start..
You can click those links to see all the different tyres available in the sizes for this bike. However below we have recommended what we consider to be the best options for the Harley.
As motorcycle tyre specialists, accredited by the major manufacturers, we can supply any tyre to you by mail order or you can have them fitted in our London motorcycle workshop.
The Pan America runs common Adventure-bike tyre sizes and so you have plenty of choices, whether you want a tyre for Commuting, Trail Riding, Touring or some proper Off-Road.
Harley Davidson Pan America History
Announced in late 2019 and launched in 2021, the Pan America is another departure into unknown territory by Harley. First came the LiveWire, their pure-electric bike and now a Harley to take you way off the beaten track. If they don’t produce a Superbike next, I’m going to eat my slippers.
It might say Harley-Davidson on the tank but the bike is completely different to almost everything they have made before. For a start, Harley’s new Revolution Max motor, is a 60-degree V-twin and it has a 30-degree off-set crank. It also runs a cam-chain (heaven forbid) and water-cooling (gasp!). It sounds like a 90-degree v-twin (think sportsbike) and not the lubb-dubb-chugg of the usual 45-degree Harley engines.
Throw in traction control, adjustable power modes, a proper off-road mode, an TFT dash and ABS and you’ve got not only a bike that’s completely different to most Harleys but also an Adventure bike that has the tech to rival most superbikes. Go Harley!

We built a pressure gauge we wanted to use ourselves
After years of using tyre pressure gauges that were inaccurate, poorly made or awkward to fit without losing pressure, we decided enough was enough.
We worked with a manufacturer to produce a motorcycle tyre pressure gauge that met our own workshop standards. The result is a gauge that’s accurate. It’s even been featured in RiDE magazine.
We’re so confident in its quality that every gauge comes with a 3-year, no-nonsense money-back guarantee.
Whether you prefer the instant accuracy of a digital tyre pressure gauge or the simplicity of a traditional analogue gauge, we’ve got the perfect tool for the job.
Correct tyre pressures are the cheapest performance upgrade you can make. They improve grip, handling, tyre life and fuel economy—and they take less than a minute to check.
