Tires... again!?

I've been toying with the possibibliy of putting a MT 90 16 tire on the front of my NAD..... that is essentially a 130/90/16... calls for a 3.00" rim recommeneded... 2.50 to 3.50 acceptable. Nomads have 3.50" rims front and back. I had not been able to find a 140 width tire for the front (I want something ever so slightly narrower for easier cornering). I'm leery to go down 2 width sizes from a 150 to a 130......
I finally came across a 140/90/16 (approved for the front) made by Duro which calls for a 3.50 rim and is ever so slightly taller and narrower than the stock 150/80/16..... it's like 1/10" taller and 1/10" narrower... I checked out some other size Duro's at the local bike shop... they look nice. The 140/90/16 is H speed rated and I believe it's either 67 or 71 Load rated... which is good....

Any thoughts from my beloved brethren???
