A: NO this front tire has a load rating of  67 H and is not reinforced 
The tire that is 73 H is Reinforced But I don't see it listed here 130/90/16 73 H Reinforced
73 load rating means it's for big V Twin Cruisers weighing 700+ lbs 
H is the speed rating of 130 mph
67 load rating is for cruisers under 700 lbs and the tire is not Reinforced

**Q: Would these  tires  fit a 2012 950 v star . currently has 170/70r 16**
A: NO

**Q: the tire size in the description says 180/65-16 but in the product details it says 180/65B-16 is this the same size?**
A: They are the same. The "B" just means it is a bias ply tire.

**Q: Are these tires made in germany or somewhere else?**
A: These were made in Brazil, when I had it mounted at Harley they were cautious about putting it on and they wanted to make sure I knew they had faults with them, I did get about 7,000 miles on it before I sold the bike with no issues
