..So my Road King has 140/90x16 front and rear. I see that some people recommend a size smaller on the front such as: 130/90 front and 140/90 rear. What say?
I can't seem to find a Michelin 140/90 front. Maybe they don't make one. 140/90 rears are avail?

 

I run a 130 front and rear.
I tried a 140 on the rear but I didn't see any appreciable difference other than it was almost too wide to fit so I went back to a 130.

 

Made me go look , 130 front and rear

checked my police supplement manual and MT90B16 was the standard for 98 Roadking police bikes

Thanks! I believe these are the original tires, Metzler white walls...

 

Are you sure they are 140's (MU)????

 

The original tire would have been H_D branded and not metzler's

Dave

 

Yep and they are about the crappiest tires you can put on a bike!!!!

 

With only 20K on the bike I assume they are original. And yes I checked three times to be sure of the size...

 

At 20k (I assume miles) you should be on your 3rd back tire and second front tire.

If it were me I would go back to 130's.

 

The original tires were definitely HD 130's made by Dunlop 402. They were ok but nothing like the metzlers. Don't think you're gonna find that size labeled as a front. Rear only....
