The Metzler 120/70-21 are readily available but the 150/70-18 Metzlers are not. The last version of the 150/70-18 was discontinued a few months ago so I don't think there are many if any around right now. The new Metzler 150/70-18 will have reinforced sidewalls so hopefully the load rating and mileage will go up. The ETA is around mid August but I wouldn't hold my breath. We have had those tires on back order since January. For now I would look at either Avon Venoms or Pirelli Nightdragons. The Pirellis only have a matching 140/70-18 front so I you are running a 21" front then Avon is your only other option if you want matching tires.

I was only getting about 5500 miles out of my Avon Venoms (rear) that could be my right hands problemHandling was fine. I went with Metz to see if I could get some better milage out of them.

A 160/70/18 metz fit just fine on my 08.

Default Went with 140/70/18 Metz

Thanks to you all for your replies. I had decided to go with Avon's and then couldn't get a Front 120/70/21 in that brand. Seems they are about as scarce as the Rear 150/70/18 Metz. I found a 140/70/18 Metz at Smith Brothers Harley-Davidson in Johnson City, TN. So, I decided to go with that until the 150mm becomes available. Smith Brother's HD shipped the tire out to me immediatley and I received it the next day/today. So, I recommend this Dealer HIGHLY.
