Tires Dunlop Elite 3 R/K 2003?
Well after looking for tires for 6 months I finally decided on the Dunlop Elite 3's , so I go to order them and they tell me they don't make it for a 2003 R/K now I have to start over, read the reviews on the Meztler 880 but milage sucks. Bottom line is has anybody put them a 03 King? My rear tire is MU 85B16 I think they make a 90 but don't know if it will work. any help?

I'm running the MU85 E3 on the rear of my '03, grab the book from them and look it up your self or go some where they can read. You'll like the E3'S.

Had 'em on my 2004.

If you try and order E3's and said for an 03 Road King, they will tell you that. If you order and say I need a MT90B-16 (72H) for the front and a MU90B-16 (78H) for the rear, you'll get the Dunlop Elite 3's for your 03 Road King.

MU90B16 78H is the tire you need.

Sorry, I was too lazy to go out to the shop in zero degree weather to look at the tire, so I got off my butt and looked. You need a MT90B, which is narrower than 2004 up. Don't take my word for it, here's a link to Dunlop.

Got them for my 01 RK from motorcyclesuperstore.com. $208.98 TTD.

Thanks Dawg I have been wanting to get away from my metz me880s....But does anyone know how to read the side of the tire to know the age of the tire?

do they come in white walls
|
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?
