What size front tire should I buy for my new 18x3.5 front wheel? I looked on the tire and doesn't say 130 or 140. The rear is 150. The guy I bought the wheels from said a 130 or 140 will work. Any reccomendations?

 

I think the Wide tires on the Front make-um more Stabler

I'm gunna Go Wider on my 21in. wheel Next time I Need-a Tire.....

___________MY - 2 cents

 

Michelin Commanders are the best bar none. I love them see if they have your size.

 

oops!

 

I have a 120 mounted in my 21"x3.5" should have put on a 130 there is plenty of fender room and the rim can take it too w/o any problems.

Mimo.

 

I was told today that the stock front fatboy tire is a 130, but the guy who sold me the wheels said I can go with a 140. I guess I will check availability and decide.

Another question, how do I know which ones to get? Not sure what the codes mean.
For example 130/70-18. What does the 70 mean?

Also, looks like I found some Metzlers and Avons. Is one brand better than the other?

 

......... I switched to . Avons . 7yrs. ago There Great..!


.......AND....thanks fur da Tip . mimo

 

metzler says a 130/70 recomended

 

i had wider and narrower and what makes the differece in the front was the profile and shorter sidwall

 

thanks, did you get that off their website?
