Now I see the 04 and above is a different size........So what do I need for my 06?

Your bike has a MU85B-16 The E-3's come as a MU90B-16 it will fit you 06. Getting ready to put them on my 06 SG.

No white walls.... MT90B16, MU85B16 and MU90B16 will all fit...I have used all 3 on my 07 FLHTC...the Elite III has the highest weight capacity, MU85 next and the MY90 the lowest.

OK, so what is the real difference between MT90, MU90 and MU85?

'The first two numbers are the week it was built and the second two numbers is the year it was built. So for example if the date code on the front tire was 2707, the 27th week of 2007.'

That's from an email a buddy sent me.

Slight dimension differences and weight capacity is the main things i saw...i think there is a difference between MT and MU but not enough for me to worry...I see that for most part the MU has higher weight capacity.:icon_eddie:
