Stock SGS Front Tire options

We just bought a new 2014 FLHX and I do not like Dunlop tires. I normally use Metzler and Perelli tires on my motorcycles. I have searched for front (130/60B19 61H (D408F)) and back (BW 180/65B16 81H (D407T)) tires on various web sites and finding no matching tire sizes.
I cannot find the mileage rating on these tires. My previous Dunlop tires never really lasted longer than 5,500 miles. That is why I am trying to find new tires to see how much they cost to estimate the cost when the time comes to get new tires and the mileage ratings.
The Dunlop tires are on Harley's web site and the tires are not cheap when you include the expensive Harley labor per tire.

I wore out my dunlop rear at 9500 miles and replaced it with a Michelin Commander II. Think it was @ $160 shipped. Fortunately, I have a guy that will change it for $20, if I bring the wheel, off the bike. I think I got a better tire for a lot less money, that will last longer. I have a friend with an FLHX that is on his 2nd commander II. I think he got @ 13-15k out of his first one. He rides very hard, always accelerating as fast as his '12 FLHX will go.
Guess I can't complain @ the wear on my front. 17,500 and still have 4/32". Been running 40 PSI front & rear. I also ride pretty hard. But I think the Michelin's are better. Checked their web site and no go for the front. So I continue to look.
I have found the HD replacement front online for $145.
