Tire help please
After hearing so much positive feedback on the Elite 3's, I decided to go to Dunlops web site ad check them out. Either I'm real confused or they don't make E3's to fit my RKCustom. The only tires that I found that I liked and would fit my 16 inch wheels were the 407's.
I then need help in finding the equivalent to;
Front= MT90B16 72H
Rear= MV85B16 77H
However, I would like to mount the widest tire possible on the rear. My next question is what would be a safe amount to figure on a dealership to mount & balance these? Can a guy get some help on this?

One the Dunlop website, look at the Touring/Sport Bias/Cruiser section of the tire catalog. They have a MT90B16 for the front and the MU90B16 for the rear is the closest match to the stock. Some guys have used the 160/80B16 for the rear with no issues, but I did not so I can't help with that.
