Default 130 or 140 front tire

This is an old topic, and I probably read them all. Just wondering if maybe someone has heard if Metzeler or Michelin has come out with either a 130 front or a lower profile 140 front tire. Metzelers 140 is just to darn tall. And I'm not a big fan of the HD Dunlops 130.

Judging by the responses, I'll take it as a big no go.

They both make suitable 130 front tyres for our dressers, just check their websites (not dealer sites!). I don't recall seeing any suitable 140 front tyres, but then I've never looked. There are stacks of members riding around on both brands, perhaps they're all out ridin'! The front will be described either as MT or 130/90.

That won't help the OP! I think the 19" size used by Harley on some models is a 130/60.

I'm sorry. Duh! I forgot to specify for a 21" rim in my op.
