What size tires are we talking about on the Elite 3?
And no clearance issues on the rear belt?

Got my tires on, Elite 3...front and back...160 on the back. On a 08 ultra, and went for a ride today and I'm so glad I listen to you guys, you told me how well they made the bike handle and the groves in the road I wouldn't feel and the bike turns quicker.....I just can't say enough about them, I'll never run anything else............thanks to all that guided me in that direction......smokey mountains next week....I'm ready!

I'm wondering abt clearence too , the 140 is 5.6" wide and the 160 is 6.4" wide .. .8" is a lot inside the rear fender and I was wondering abt the belt as well .. Have ta get the tape out and see ..
Still more than half the tread at 11k is great , best I ever did on the rear with the 402 is abt 13k , and it was skeery around 11k ..
Prolly gonna stick with the 140 here , hate to buy the tire then have an issue ..

I need a tire edu-macation.
I dont understand the 160 thing.
I see MT90HB16 and MU90HB16 in elite 3, I even see 160/80B16 but I dont see anything that matches my bike.
Sup wit dat?
