Default SG Airstrike wheels on Road King

I bought a set of 18/16" Airstrike wheels for my 2011 King. Now is there a reason people don't run radials and if that is not possible is the correct size for the front a 130/70B-18 (63H) Dunlop American Elite 2nd Gen?
Thanks

130/70-B18 is the correct size, I run the Metzeler ME880's. I'm sure there are some people that run radials.
