Default '01 FXST need help deceiding on new tires...

I just bought 2 H-D Thunderstar wheels and I need new tires and I can't figure out what I should get??

I currently have (on the stock spoked rims) a Dunlop K591 150 on the rear and a dunlop 21" on the front.

The 150 is just a tad too wide (getting some rubbing) and I want something that's 140ish. I've been trying to sort things out looking a tire vendors online etc. and I just get more confused...I'm looking an dunlops, metzelers, avons...I've read good things about dunlop E3's....anyone with some tire knowledge know what will work out...I get lost with the 140/xxxx or the MU90xxxx. For the front I'm not sure what 21" I might need...I see 80/90, 90/90, mh90, 120/90 and I don't know WTF will work and what won't.

Any help much appreciated!!!

Avon Venom MH90/21 or the 120/21(may have to alter your front fender). Rear has a 140/HB90-16. Avon tyres have great handling.

Thanks lonewolf.

I ended up buying some metzelers

140/90HB-16
MH90-21

I bought them from "Motorcycle Superstore...They were on sale and they had an additional savings coupon. I ended up getting the two tires shipped for $204.00. I received them in 2 days.

We'll see how they work out. I've heard good things, and bad things about them. time will tell.
