Hey guys I see alot of you love the D-lop E3's when it was time for new skins, I have an 06 SG that had the 402's stock and I dont see the exact replacement size for the rear which is the MU85 B16.All I can find on line is the MT90 or the MU90 or 160/80 need a little help with correct size to run on the rear? Any help from expierence would be Great!

I have E3's with a little over 10M miles on them with plenty of tread life left. I replace both at the same time mainly because original tire were over 4 years old. Same size rear as stated above MU90B16. They only come blackwall which is great for me since I don't like cleaning white walls. Once you get them make it a point to drive across a bridge that has a grate and notice how straight you go without weaving plus lots better on roads with that tar snakes on them. Braking also seems approved over the 402's.

I currently don't have one on, i actually have a Elite II on right now which is the same as a 402 but i got it for $30, i had a Elite III on before this tire and it was the best tire i had on the bike...took it off at 11000 miles. I will have another one on in the future but $30 i can't pass up. The EIII was the best on tar snakes, grooves etc...i tracks straight. loved it. i am on my 8th tire n ow in 50k miles... I have to admit the best tire i had as far as the ride was a Avon Venom X but it only lasted 6000 miles. That is why i would rank the EIII the best overall because it gave me all i was looking for including mileage...
