Default 150/70 18 Metzeler tire

Has anyone mounted up the new 150/70 18" in place of the 140/70 ? I have the 140s on my 02 Road Glide right now, and I'll be needing to replace my rear tire soon, thought I might go with the 150 , bit wider.

I have it on the rear,no problems at all.Stay away from the ME880 160/70v18 lot of problems with that tire with drift and wobbles at cruise speeds.A bit pricey because they just came out so shop around!
