Tire Size Dilema...
..So my Road King has 140/90x16 front and rear. I see that some people recommend a size smaller on the front such as: 130/90 front and 140/90 rear. What say?
I can't seem to find a Michelin 140/90 front. Maybe they don't make one. 140/90 rears are avail?

With only 20K on the bike I assume they are original. And yes I checked three times to be sure of the size...

Originaals
The original tires were definitely HD 130's made by Dunlop 402. They were ok but nothing like the metzlers. Don't think you're gonna find that size labeled as a front. Rear only....
