Dioglidesx2:

What kind of bike do you have that can accept E3's? I've got an '05 Ultra and was considering going that route, after great acclaim for those tires from friends of mine who own Goldwings and have changed to E3's -- but from what I've been able to determine, they aren't made in the 85 series for the rear yet...

Anyone else have any luck finding these? I've been relegated to staying with the OEM Dunlops....

TIA

That's thing I noticed about the Metzlers. You can't get the 140 rear tirein an 85 aspect ratio so you either have to go 140x90x16 or 140x80x16. How welldo either of these sizes fit on a bike intended for a 140x85x16 tire?

Does anyone know if they make the E3s in a Wide White Wall?

I have an '00 Electraglide Classic an an '02 Road Glide, the '00 has a 130/90-16 and the '02 has a 140/90-16 rear. Did you check with Dunlop on this? The 150/85 has been out for 2 or 3 years already and if it's not available yet in the E3, I would expect it will be available soon! I don't know about WWW's. They also have the E3 in a radial as well as a bias ply in some sizes.

I've had the best results with Michelin Commander rear tires.
