As far as I know there is only one www tire that fits the front of the TA and that is a Dunlop K177 120/90-18. You will need to modify the fender mount as per this thread.

you don't have to raise the fender if you like the slammed look, you can cut the center out of the fender mounting bracket and attach fender to the remaining two pieces and the tire won't rub 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I don't mind that look at all. I was gonna cut the middle outta the bracket but then got paranoid that it helped firm up the forks by being there. Probably doesn't factor into the forks at all but the thought was enough to deter me.

so many bikes run no fender at all.... I seriously doubt the 1/8" (if that thick) steel bracket offers much structural support

I would say that the front axle would be suffice
