Hi Don,
You should use the 130 70b 18 for the front tire.

Is the 100/90 19 a radial or biased
The 100/90-19 tire is biased. If the tire is radial, it will have a "R" before the rim size

Hi 150/80B16 rear what does the B stand for cause I would need a 130/90/16 front tire and it has no B in the Metzeler ME 888 wide white wall
B stands for bias ply. Tires will either be bias ply or radial. Check your owner's manual or current tire to see if you require a bias ply or radial construction.

What is the difference between the 74H and 80H Metzeler 888 rear tires? I have a 2016 Victory Cross Country Tour. Which is best suited?
74 and 80 are the load ratings of each tire, so the 80H is designed for higher loads. You'd need to check the specs in your owner's manual to see what the suggested load rating is for your bike.

I have 2013 Street Glide and want to know if there is any problem going to radial tire vs the stock bias the bike came with?
The manufacturers always recommend to stick to the stock tire sizes and specifications to ensure optimal performance and safety.

I am replacing my rear tire with a me888 However I have a Perilla night dragon on the frt that I do not need to change can I mix the 2 Thanks
Hi bud. I put this tire on a 07 roadking harley davidson last year. The bike is decked out with bags and trunk. Since putting it on I've driven aprox. 5200 kms. The tire still looks like new and it has incredible traction on both wet and dry pavement. I replaced both front and back last year and am impressed with them in every regards. I would highly recommend putting on a set. They are the best choice you could ever make.
