Default Tire Help

Can someone tell me the difference between

MU85B-16

MU90B-16

I want to order E-3's from Cycle Gear. They don't list the MU85B-16.
That is what I've been using in the Michelin Commander. I want to try the
E-3's on you guy's recommendation.

Use the MU90b16... This is the closest one to the MU85....It is the one i have on mine. Better weight cap. and a slight dimension diff but barely nothing...Go to the Dunlop motorcycle tire website and you can see the diff in the tire catalog. I now have about 5k miles and barely no sign of wear on it and it rides the best of any tire i have had...i am on my 6th or 7th...i forget.
