Time to replace factory front tire (Bridgestone) on my 06 America. Any recommendations on a replacement other than stocker? How about a bobber type like the Harley Street Bob? How would it handle?

A 130/70-18 Marathon XXL will fit right on.
It looks nice and fat but handles great.
I've been running one for about 1000 miles.
