Default Tire Q
What is the tire size in the Avon Venomsfor a '06 Ultra Classic?

HD list the tire(s) as MT90B16 72H & MU85B16 77H.

Are the sizes the same in the Avons?

Thanks. Seems confusing.....why isn't it listed like 180...190... 130's like most tires...or am I missing something here?

You Can check but I think the MT90/16 is a 130/90/16 & the MU85/16 is a 140/85/16

I have an 07 RKC and Avon quoted the following tyres as replacements.

Front........MT90B16
Rear.........140/90B16

I believe those are the tyres you will require.
