Has anybody with a 2006 Ultra Classic put a 160/80B16 Elite III rear tire on their bike? I am tempted to try it but I don't want to open up a can of worms...too nice out to not be riding.

Thanks.

 

there are some that have done it however the 160 is only recomended for a 3-1/2 rim not your 3 inch rim.

 

bigdumbnoitall00 just about has it on the button! I have a 150 on the 2005 wheel in my bike, which is the widest recommended for a 3" rim, but I am sure there are some Ultras out there with 160s. One of them will probably be along soon.

 

I have the MU90 on the rear of my 2005. It looks a lot wider than stock and it's the recommended tire for that rim.

 

MU90?
WTH? The MU90 is a NATO-standard-calibre (323,7mm) fire-and-forget LWT of 304 Kg and 2850 mm length, designed to counter any type of nuclear or conventional submarine.

 

Thanks for all of the responses. It sounds like the safest way to proceeed is to go with the MU90B16...sounds like that is a good tire.

 

I guess they are multi-functional! On a dresser they pretend to be just 140mm wide (compared with the earlier spec rear MT at 130mm wide). An Avon 140 and 150 Venoms are both MU rated.
