Default Widest of the Wide (White Walls)

It's coming up on time to replace my tires and I really like the look of the Avon Gangsta........but they don't make a load index (77) rating for the touring models.

Who makes the next widest white wall with proper size?

Would the Gangsta on the front and the Avon Venom WWWon the rear (1) Handle OK? and (2) Look OK?

I had the Avon Gangsta on my bike when I bought it. Hardly any miles on them. I rode it 6 miles to get Metz put on. I have never been so scared riding a bike. I felt like I was driving in sludge. Bike was all over the place. Just my experience.

I have Harley tires........
I have a removable trunk and bags. I know it is not quite 'tourer',
but they have held up well.

Thanks for the replies and pics. Both the Metz and Dunlap have the right look. I'll stay away from the Gangsta's.
