I'd like to know the load ratings of the elite 3's and the stockers. Haven't seen that yet. I'd switch to the E3's in an instant if I knew the weight capacity was equal or better then the originals.

If I remember correctly the EIII is rated about 50 or so more pounds than the 402. You can go to the Dunlop site and they have it listed.

Definitely get the MU on the rear. Not only higher load rating, but also wider.

Here's the chart to compare all of them:

Yep, you'll like the E3s...I'm on my 3rd set. Definately go with the the MU90 on the rear as dgretz recommends; it's 140mm wide vs. the 130mm wide MT90.

I think he will have to go with the MT or his belt will rub. He's on an 03.

You're right!! With my '03 I tried the MU and and it rubbed on the belt. Dammit!!!!!! I just bought a Metzler MT90B16 and I hope it fits....the '03's are a bit different, very little room!!!
