Default What size Dulop E-3 ?

I'm re-phrashing this from another post hoping to get some help. The Dunlop website indicates the MU90B16 diam is 25.72 and 5.57 wide. I have been running the 402's that are the MU85B16 with a 25.71 diam and 5.51 wide. The E-3s are only .06 wider; I may be stupid, but is that enough of a differnce to be a potential problem with clearance? I can get the E-3s in MT90B16 that are 5.17 wide but would like to run as much rubber on the road as possible, and at almost a 1/2 in thinner I'm not sure about the skinny look it may have.

Smile Elite III

I had the Elite III installed in the spring. The front I went with the match, however on back the dealer was putting on the stock size and when he mounted it, it was the wider equal to a 180. Since it was mounted we attempted to install and had no problems with clearance. Has been fine for around 1000 miles. The tires are awesome!

The Mu90 will fit easily I have one on my Ultra. Some have gone to the next size larger with no issues except maybe trimming the belt guard a bit.
