Default 18" wheels for FLHC

Help needed! I'm interested in adding a set of 18 x 3.5" 60 spoke wire wheels to my '93 EGlide but can't find a set of matching tires. American Wire Wheel has an article about 18's on their website that recommends a 130/70-18 on the front and a 140/70-18 for the rear but nobody makes a matched pair. Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.

You will have a very hard time finding a matching set in those sizes. Metzler was really the only company that had matching tires in those sizes but they discontinued the 140/70-18 rear a few years back and now they are no matching sets. I have had a few customers run a Metzler front 18" and a pirelli sport demon 140/70-18 rear with success because they couldn't find matching tires.
