Default Need help with tires


So I have a 2000 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 and a bolt came out on the rear fender and ruined my rear tire and right now I have a Michelin Commander MT 90 B16 I've been looking up some stuff and I know the 130 90 16 is the same size that was wondering what tires would fit trying to stay just about a hundred bucks new to the Harley world

I too have the Shinko Tour Master on the rear and to me, it's better than the stock tire. Better than the Shinko 777 too!

Why not get another commander, especially if it’s whats on the front? There’s only 2 small patches of rubber keeping you on the road, not something I would cheap out on, going down from poor traction will cost much more then a good tire would’ve cost. Also make sure speed and load ratings are equal to or better then what’s recommended for your bike.
