Wide Glide Tire Alteratives

I’m sure someone can answer this question, I have a 2011 Dyna wide glide that has Michelin scorchers. The front Wheel is a 80/90-21 and the rear is a 180/60-17. The issue is I’m going on my 3rd set of tires in less then 20k miles. Im looking for a better tire. I was interested in the Michelin III but they don’t make them in the tire size I have. In fact nobody makes a 180/60-17 tire that I know of except Michelin’s Scorcher tire. I want to know what is an alternative tire Make and Size that I can use? Money isnt a huge issue, I just want good tires. Thanks the help.

Avon Cobra Chromes, best bike tires I've ever used.

I checked on Avon and have a couple questions. What difference is it from a 180/60 and a 190/60 tire? The 180 is $330 and the 190 is $175? I have 13.5” rear shocks so my bike sits high. Also what is the wides I can put on my front 21x2.15 rim? Has a 80/90-21 tire now.

Ask Avon or do a comparison. Probably different series tires .

Looks like a 90/90-21 will work good in the front. Its a little wider. The 190/60-17 should be good too, but ill check first. They too are wider, which I like. Thanks.
