Tire question.

I have a RK that I have 18" 140x70 Metzler 880 on the front, and they are worn so I am looking for a set of Dunlops with the same size. I have had some difficult in find the size and wonder if anyone knows of them.
Thanks,
Marsh

Dunlop only makes a 130/70-18, it's about .4" narrower than a 140. Avon, Metzeler, & Pirelli are the only ones making a 140/70-18, I've had the best luck with Avons, good wear & great handling, not so good on wear on the Avon rear tires. I have thought about going to E3s, but haven't made the plunge yet.
