I do believe that those are the correct sizes.

I have purchased from them with no problems.

The V is the speed rating, The B specifies Bias ply.

Should't have any problems ordering from the OEM fitment chart.

Make sure the rear is the reinforced construction. load rating 79(964lbs)

Might want to shoot an email off to them just to make sure.

Verify the tires are load rated for the beast. Metzeler's will be embossed "Reinforced" on the sidewall.

I thought I would update Y'all. BMW Motorcycles of Fort Worth is donating a set of Avons 45st & 46st, I know they do not go on LT's so if you win you can trade them for $ 175.00 cash. www.tbmwsr.com

Good Luck,

Actually, the 45ST and 46ST do fit the LT, A few are running them, many more are running the front only along with a BT020 rear because of the wandering feeling of the rear Avon.
