Right size tires?
My dealer ordered Metzler 880's for my 07 FLHRS, I think 130 front and a 150 rear. Is that the correct replacement for my stock MT90 and MU85?

I think that 150 is too wide.
Not 100% sure though.
You can go to Metzler's website. I'm sure they have a listing of what tire goes on it.

Thanks, although I was asking partly since the Metzler size page is down today. Tks.

I have to agree with Chris, I think the 150 is to wide. For your bike it calls for 130/90-16 on thefront and the MU85B-16 on the rear. The MU85B-16 rear tire is as wide as a 140, but with a higher load rating of 908 lbs. Hope this has helped and good luck... "D"

Will the Metzler's meet the load ratings?

Oh well, my dealer ordered & received a 150 for the rear, says that is what they use, should be fine. I am a solo FLHRS rider @ 190 lbs., so, guess we will see how it works out.
