My opinion is as long as the front tire matches the rear you should be ok.

+1 They should match. What kind of rider are you? ......Soft tires=good grip less mileage
Hard tires=less grip more mileage.
I ride that same bike

I ride that same bike not sure right off what i have on it I wiil check in a little while and repost but i do know that what i have on are baracuda and they seem to ware very well
Tires sizes

I got the tire sizes
The front is 100/90-19
the rear is 130/90-16
and I run a barracuda or a kenda is good to
a barracuda is what i run it is a softer rubber
and the kenda is harder can be slippery when wet
I hope this is what you were looking for

Those are the standard cruiser sizes. I run a HD branded Dunlop K591 on my HD, but I've also run that tire on my XJ600. It's a bias ply, but has a lot of grip in both dry and wet. I got about 8K on the rear on the XJ, and now have at least 4K on the Harley and still have lots of tread left.
