Default Avon Roadrunner for WG Front?

I just had a avon roadrunner put on the front of my wide glide. I was replacing my original Dunlop (at 6600 miles! [:@]). I am amazed at how much more traction I feel from this tire, especially in the turns. It looks a bit bigger than the Dunlop. Does anyone know the specs on this? Is it bigger than the stock Dunlop 21inch? Maybe it's bigger because it isn't worn out yet .

I'v found the those tires to be slightly bigger than dunlops, especially in width. In my '97 WG, that was a problem in the rear.

But it is an excellent tire, with better traction and road feel than the dunlops.
