Need Help For Rear Tire Replacement

My near HD dealer is out of tires. Need to replace my rear tire, the code is D402 MU85B16
and I want to know if a 150 / 80 / B16 will work for me.

Thanks,

Why not just go to another dealer? Or have your dealer order you a tire, can't take that long.

That should work. The 150 refers to the width of the tire and the 16 is the diameter. Look at your old tire and it should say the size on it.

Some guys on here say you can put a car tire on it. I wouldn't do it myself though, I'd find a bike tire.

150-80 will fit barely. But the load rating is substantially less. Not recommended, especially if you're going two up.

If I'm right the MU85B16 is a 142mm tire, I bet the 150 would be a tight fit. I read somewhere that the MU85B16 is a higher load rating and it is a different compound tire that is supposed to give up to 35% more tread life. I ordered my last several tires from www.jakewilson.com , they will ship free any order over $99. If your not in too big a hurry you could probably save yourself some cash ordering your own.

Call Tim @ www.twobrotherstires.com and he will fix you up. I ordered a set on a Thursday and they were sitting on my front step Friday afternoon. Great service and you can't beat his prices.

Check the E3's. Go to the Dunlop website and lookup info on the 402 then look at the E3 that is comparible in size and ratings. A lot of people are happy with this tire. Do a search and you will see. i am going to these next time. Some are getting double the milage of the 402's.
