The best tire out there in my opinion. Far superior to the stock 402's in every way!

Either will fit. I have used both sizes on my 07 FLHP. I prefer the wider tire on my bike.

Gonna try to put a 160 on my 07 Ultra in a couple weeks. Running a 140 E-3 now. Just like the looks of the bigger tire.

After reading the tire specifications of the MU90HB-16 E3 and the MU85HB-16 402, they are virtually the same size, so the MU90 in an E3 would appear to be a direct replacement.

The 160/80HB-16 is about 1/4" wider and maybe about 1/4" or so taller. It fits right on the 07 Touring bike. I have this size on the rear of my bike.

Default Elite III
I need a new tire in about 1500 miles. Which elite III for my 2004 Electra-glide ultra? A shop I have had do some work for me sells the Elite III and likes it but he is recommending the new Michelin Commander II.
