Default Simple tire size question

I am thinking of buying a set of E3's tomorrow night when Cycle Gear has their 10% off sale. I have an '08 SG and the manual says I need a MU85B-16 for the rear. The closest I see listed in the E3 line is a MU90B-16. Is this the correct size and what is the difference in size?

That's the correct tire. You can go to Dunlop's website to get exact info, but the difference in height and width is less than .07" for each.
