Tire stuff
I posted in the tire forum but there's nobody over there now so I thought I's throw it out here also>
It's time to replace my rear wheel and after reading and reading and reading about the different opinions concerning different brands of tires I'm sticking with the Dunlops. I've had no problems with flat spots, abnormal wear, cupping, and they work fine in the rain. God bless America where we can all use what we want on our bikes.
Here's my question: I've hit a multitude of sites looking for best price, shipping rates, and delivery time on these tires and have seen some variations in the markings. I'm looking for a 150/80B16 tire and have seen some Dunlop D401 tires that have 150/80"H"B16 listed as the size. Is this the same tire that additionally lists the speed rating (H)? From what I can find out the "B" is a belted tire and "H" is a speed rating. Should I be concerned?
