I also like Dunlops. Whatever you buy keep an eye on tire air pressures or premature wear will not be far behind.

Dunlop E3.......don't miss the white wall

(as stolen from iclick several years ago......)

These are the options for '06-'08 FLH's:

Rear:

MU90B-16: Very close to stock size at .01" taller and .06" wider. Should also fit older bikes.

160-80-16: Apparently fits even though there is very little gap between tire and belt guard, but with stock 3" wheels violates Dunlop's wheel spec of 3.5". I personally wouldn't run these, but those who do think I'm a curmudgeon.

Front:

MT90B-16: Same size as stock.

These bikes look rel nice with the thin whites....i prefer dunlops.....metz are cheaper and the one time i had them i only got one season...softer compounds im guessing....if you really want wides go with avons if you cant get dunlops if at all possible the dunlops last longest.
