Is anyone running 18" tire/rims on their bagger...?

I'm sure there are a bunch of you....my question is I am trying to find a set of tires with the proper load rating to fit my rims....I have Met 880's on it now but the rear is rated at 73h and the front at 63h.

I know this is low for this bike which is an 05' stripped Electra Glide , no fairing, trunk etc... I can Find Dunlops to fit the front but not the rear.

I am running 130/70/18 on the front and 140/70/18 on the rear but want to switch to a 130 on the back.

What are you guys running on your 18" baggers ?

I was thinking of leaving the 18" on the front and switching back to the stock rim size of 16" on the rear to get the load rating.....what do you think..?

I know the Street glides run a similar set up...18 front and 16 rear.

thanks in advance for the help

 

For your bike with 18" if you want the highest load rating go with the Metzler ME880 140/70-18 (73 load rating) for the front and a Metzler ME880 150/70-18 (76 load rating) on the rear.

131tman....what side wall height are you running on your bike...? 70-80 ?

I think I might go back to the stock 16" on the back...I just bought the bike and there seems to be some clearence issues. Seems that the 130/70/18 on front and a 130/90/16 onthe back are onlr 4/10 " difference in overall diameter.

thanks.
