Tire sizes?
Sorry, I'm sure this has been discussed before, I just didn't find it on a search.
It is getting time to think about new tires for the 07 Ultra. The tire size is listed as:
Front
MT90B16
Rear
MU85B16
What is the metric equivalent sizes? It seams like Dunlap is the only ones listed in these sizes.
Are there alternative (taller/wider) tire sizes that will work on the Ultra?
Any other prefered tire brands beside the Dunlops? Avons, Metzlers?
It looks like the fronts are something like a130/??-16 and the rears a 140/??-16.

RE: Tire sizes?
If using Metzlers you'll want the 130/90/16 front tire and for the rear the 140/90/16 DO NOT put the 150/90/16 Metz on the rear because the load rating is marginal on that tire. I know many have put it on but IMO I would not use it. It's your life do with it what you want. 
The 140 rear has a 77 load rating while the 150 has a 71 load rating.
