Default Dunlop elite III

Im looking to replace my rear tire on my 07 heritage and the only elite 3 dunlop makes that is anywhere close to the stock size is a 160. Will a 160 fit without problems under my bike? I would really like to try these tires. Im a big guy at 335lbs and I know that because or my weight that mileage on tires is gonna be less. But I feel that I might get more miles out of the elite 3 than any other tire.

The Elite 3 that you're looking at is listed as being 6.10 wide. Your stock tire is 6.15 wide so it would appear that it should fit with no problem. The stock Heritage tire for 07 is a 150/80 16. The Elite 3 is a 160/80 16. It seems that the Elite should be listed as being wider based on sizes but it's not so it would be interesting to mount one and see how it works.
