Question 130 or 140 rear tire? 2007 ultra

Going to dump the Dunlop tire and try a set of Mich Commander II
What size rear tire? 130/90 or 140/90-16 ? Just looking for a little feedback, as slow and easy as I ride more than likely doesn't matter Thanks

I think you will find your bike came stock with an MU, which is 140/85, but a 140/90 will also fit. If you have the narrow 1 1/8" belt a 150/80 will fit and provide a bit more street cred! Make sure you get one with a load rating of around 76/77, as there are alternative versions of some brands for lighter bikes. If you ride 2-up then the larger tyres are more suitable, as the MT/130 is close to it's limit on a heavily loaded bike.

On an 07 you can do a 150/80/16.

I did the 150/80-16 Commander II on my 03 EG with 08 SG wheel and .200 Drag Spacer...no issues and lots of clearance. Also slipped on an 18" SG front wheel...
