What about something like this?
120/90-18 and 110/90-19...
My last set looked so little and skinny and out of place

The 712's are only rated to H though... And do you think that 140 rear profile will be ok and handle?

The metric 100-90-19 is the metric equivalent for 3.25-19.

120-90-18 is a good equivalent for 4.25-18.

Lots of brands to choose from.
