Question Which Tires for Street Glide?

Need some advise - Got a flat on my rear Dunlop today. Figure I'll use this as an opportunity to switch to Metzlers. Can't seem to find a cross reference for an 07 Street Glide. I see cross references for other touring models and a note that the tires are not for lowered bikes - Which the Street Glides is.

Anyway, anyone have any experience running Metzlers on a Street Glide with 16" rims? This is what I came up with from the Metzler web Site:

Front 130/90-16 M/C 67H TL ME880 FRONT
Rear 140/90B16M/C REINFTL 77H ME880

Thanks in advance!

Those are the tires. Lowering makes no difference in your case. I have Metz's on my Electra Glide, and have had it lowered. I ran a 150/70X16 rear lowered, no clearance issues. Well.... none with the fender. I had to clearance the belt guard.

Just put these same tires on my 91 Eglide, too!
They are very nice riding and have a good looking profile. You'll like em...
