Default mh90-21 90/90-21 front tires

What is the difference between a tire that's mh90-21, 80/90-21 and 90/90-21? The stock Dunlops are mh90-21 and I'm considering a tire that's 80/90-21 and need to know the difference before I decide. Thanks.

What the guy explained to me today at the tire shop.The only real difference is that the 90/90-21 is a tubeless tire. Apparently that's the model Metzler recommends for my 96 1200C...although I always thought the fronttire was a tube style since it's a spoked rim...
