Tire help please?
Hello. Time for new skins for my 06 fxst. I have 8600mi on the stock dunlops. Wanted to explore other replacement options. Front is Mh90-21 (whatever that means) and the rear is 200/55 r17. Ive searched some posts here, checked out the Metzs but didnt see my rear size in the me880. Checked out avons, have to get a cobra for the rear and a venom for the front. Are these odd sizes or something or why cant i seem to find a matching set of tires. Also, should i be putting radials on my bike, i dont even know if the stock duns were radial or not. Any input on what you have been running in these sizes would be appreciated. Any leads to the cheapest place to buy them online would be helpful also. Thank You.

I believe it is a radial and you need to stay with it. I have a Metzler chart i can email you if you want. I swapped the 200 55 17 for a Metzler 210 50 17. it will fit and handle better but it wears much faster. the front tire is not a radial. did you get the bike new?
