18x3.5 with a 130 up front here. A very good compromise to keep the fat.

Ya i really like having a fat front tire! Love the way it handles the road. I think you can fit a 130mm on a 19" wheel..

I like the handling of a 120 as the bike will fall into corners much easier than with a wider tire, but most people prefer a larger contact patch to the ground.
