My 2000 FLHT has factory wire spoked wheels. In the small manuel it says no radials on spoked rims. On the front tire currently on the bike it says Dunlop D 402 F MT 90 B 16 m/c 72 H TUBELESS ON TUBE TYPE RIM FIT TUBE what does all this mean?? and can I use Elite 3 s or not. Thanks

 

Put the E3's front and back on my 01 FLHR no problem and love them.

 

The Elite 3's I looked at ARE bias ply.........they make them in radials?

 

B 16 = Bias 16"

 

Ditto: Bias ply only

 

They are bias ply...

I have them on my '07 with spokes and they are great.

 

Dunlop makes the E3 in a radial. Very limited sizes.

 

So bias ply only no radial all agree????Now to find Elite 3 in bias ply. Thanks
