I've pretty much decided on the Dunlop E3 for my new tires. Only problem is they don't seem to have an exact match to replace the stock 150/80 B16 (D401). There is a E3 in 160/80 B16 that looks about the same width as the D401 (6.10 vs 6.15) with a much higher load rating (80H vs 71H). Can anyone say if that would be the E3 to put on the rear? Will it fit without any adjustments? Does the higher load rating have any affect?
I compared the E3 to the Avon Venom and Metzler ME880.
Thanks
