Hey all. My buddy has an 08 Ultra Classic in need of tires. He wants to put a 160 on the rear but, not sure if it will fit. Any one done this? Will it fit? Thanks for any help....

 

I think an 08 Ultra has a 160 on it.....

 

No sir it has a 140.
OP not sure about a 160 but a 150 will fit.

my apologies 140 it is

 

I checked with him. He has a MU85B16 on it now. I don't even have a clue what size that is. Anyone????

 

dunlop elite3 in a mu90 16 is his best bet,a 160 will need a slight belt guard trim but is NOT RECOMENDED for a 3.5 inch wheel. the only reason it fits is the narrow wheel pulls in the sidewall so much, and it will wear fast down the center.

 

It's a 140/90-16.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.

 

Yessir.

I have an 07 which is the same frame. I'm running a 150 now. Ran a 160 previously. No belt guard trimming required. However I mount my own tires and a 160 tire on a 3 inch rim is a major PIA. I wouldn't recommend it and won't do it again. All tires were Elite3's.
