Question Tire size question
Is 130/90-16 the same as MT90-16 for a front tire? I can only find MT90-16 in the specs and only find 130/90-16 in the Michelin Commander tires list. I think it's the same but not sure. Oh, and yes this is a serious question. It is among the part of knowing it all that I don't know yet.

My son's sportster has mt90b16 stamped on the frame tag, but has a 130/90B16 on back, so looks correct.
