Hi I recently purchased a set a wheels for my 05 RK. Was considering buying Avon for the front and rear 120 70 21 and. 140 90 16 for the rear. Has any body had any issues with the front tire beacause the load rating is 68 apposed to the suggested stock 72 rating which is about 100 pounds difference. I will be riding with the wife so I wanna be safe always. The rear is the same weight rating . Just the front 21 inch wheel I'm concerned about.

 

Good question, but here are some direct comparisons that may put your mind at ease...

2009-Later "Touring" Models were equipped with the following Dunlop D408 Front Tires (Load/Speed Ratings)

130/80B-17 .... 65H
130/70B-18 .... 63H
130/60B-19 .... 61H

Would you be afraid to take your wife on any of those bikes?

 

Thanks really appreciate your help. Oh I would take my wife on the models mentioned above

 

I have a 2004 RKC and just installed a Shinko 777 H.D. whitewall. Biggest whitewall out of Metzeler or Avon.
