Default softail deluxe rear tire

Here's my issue, on my deluxe i had a fat daddy rim 18-4.25, which i had a vee rubber ww tire 150/60-18, I changed up my hole set up becauce i was having so much trouble with vee rubber, "thats another issue ", and finding matching ww. So i went to PM rims and black walls tires. But there is no black wall tire out 150/60-18 but Shinko Podium, So is Shinko a good tires or my only other thing is go to a 150/70-18 or I don't know if a 160/60-18 will fit in there. Please help

Go to a 150/70-18 and you will have a lot of choices....

I purchased a set of Shinko tires for my Heritage. I put a 150 on the rear and it fills it out nicely. So far so good…
