The MU85 is a 140 tire that's stock on 2004-and-up HD Touring models. The MU90 is the 130 tire...

The front tire size is a 130/90/16 and the rear is a 140/90/16. I bought a set of Metzeler 880's from american motorcycle tire online and they were the cheapest I could find. Definately a major improvement over the stock dunlops especially in wet weather. Heres a link to them www.americanmototire.com

Hope this helps ya,
Scott
