Default Metzler Tire sizes

Can someone help me with Metler tire sizes. When I go to the Metzler home page they list my tire size. Looks like they make them!
Front-MT 90 B 16
Rear-MU 85 B 16
But when I check web site's Like Ron Ayers and Jake Wilson I can't find this number?
This is for an 05 Ultra, Any information would help a lot!
Thanks for your help.
Steve

I think these are the tires you are looking for but someone else chime in and let me know if I am reading this wrong. Ron Ayers does not list the 85 series tire for the rear so i think yo need to go to the 90. The H is the speed rating for the tire which is good to 130 MPH.
110-10408 ME880 130/90H16 Front The 130 is the same as a MT tire
110-10415 ME880 140/90HB16 Rear The 140 is close to the MU tire, a 140/85 would be perfect.
These are the blackwalls, the wide whites and Narrow whites are listed in the same area on the site.
Hope this helps

That would be correct and you will not find cheaper prices anywhere than ronayers.com!!!

Can you tell me what the difference is when I look at the web site forhttp://www.americanmototire.com/cata...33_165_172_607
They list both tires:
Front-MT 90 B 16 Also Front 130 90 16
Rear-MU 85 B 16 Also Rear 140 90 16
There has to be a difference in the two tires, they have two different part numbers?
Not sure which ones to order? Other web sites have better prices and free shipping but they only list the 130 90 16 and the 140 90 16

Thanks for your help!

I have metzlers on my '04 ultra. This is what I read off of the sidewalls of mine.

My front has thin whitewall: "130/90-16 M/C 67H"
My rear is all black: "140/90 B 16 M/C 77H"

I haven't looked at the web links but hope that helps confirm what tire sizes you're looking for.

Metzler now offers the metric sizes( MT90B-16 & MU85B-16 ) listed on their web site. You don't have to run as much air pressure due to the stiffer sidewall.

Just because Ron Ayers doesn't list them on the web site doesn't mean you can't buy them.
