I have a 260-40-18 and a 120-70-21 up front, I spent a whole lot of money for this conversion. The Heartland kit cost me 3750 and the rims were another almost 4K plus about 500 for the tires. Plus the powder coating and the trans socket I had to get. Good thing I do body work so I wont have to pay to get the fender straightened out and painted. But its only money ill forget all about it once that tire is on there haha.

I dont know about the whole avon 250 vs metzeler 260 vs dunlop 240 deal but I ride a 200 metzeler on my chopper and I love its great in the turns and it rides smooth. The tread wear is pretty good too, never cared for the avon or dunlop the dunlop on my bike now doesent feel as good it turns as the metzeler but there two different bikes and sizes so it could be that too. All I have to say is mines is a 260 so on paper my tire is bigger than that 250 haha. Ill try measure out the tread of the avon and the metzeler and see what the real deal is. Oh ya Moondognyc I am nuts but I dont think that 260 is gonna handle bad why would it be any different than any other tire out there? And im on progressive 422's right now if it looks terrible then im gonna have to get me a shotgun shock.
