Default Tire size.

Hi guys. maybe you can help answer a question I have. I have a 2004 Vulcan 1500 Nomad Fi. My question is can I put a larger width tire on my bike with out any modifications? The manual says I need a 150/80 R16. Can I put a 180/80 R16 on? How about a 160 if they make them? It just seams weird that both front and rear tires are the same size.

Thanks Jim

Harley ran the same size tire front and rear for decades on their dresser.
