Dunlop E3 question
I have an 06 Heritage and I've been reading the posts on the E3 tires and still cant figure`out the right size for the rear. The front is easy as they have an mt90B16 in the e3 but the rear the closest I can come is the mu90b16 which is narrower than the stock 401 rear. Is this what you guys are running or are you stepping up to the next size and how does it fit. Thanks for any feedback.

Some are going with the 160 and its also narrower than the 401's and its also 3/8'' or 1/2'' taller, don't remember which one, thats why I did get a set of them this summer when I reshoed.

I run the 160, which is about the same width as the stock 150 was. Slightly taller but not noticable. 11/32 tread depth. They recommend it for a 3 1/2 rim (stock is 3") but this is the second Heritage I have run it on with no issues. Definately don't notice the taller thing.
I'll go find the specs, I think I still have them on my puter somewhere.

Here ya go.
Looks like about 2/3 of an inch taller diameter (1/3 below the axle and 1/3 above). I never noticed the change on my bike.
Once I placed the order, I forgot the difference even existed til it was brought up today.
Odometer is always within 2 or 3 per hundred, with traveling buddies bikes. Speedo's vary some anyway.

Same width as your 150 (within .05).
They ride nice!
