I believe that is what I have, chosen for exactly that reason. It is the metric sizes I'm seeing mentioned which might not equal that load rating. It's been over a year since I reviewed all that stuff, but only one possible option exceeded the D402, made the choice easy.

" Since when does it rain in TX?"

I'm in southeast Texass, and yea we are still in a drought.

The problem is in this area when we get the rain it that kind of rain you don't want to get. About 4:00 in the afternoon the skys turn black and the bottom falls out and of course you have to dodge all the lighting strikes.

So, you really think people will look at your bike and say " OMG he has one slim white wall and one black!" ? Get the E3 already, first thing I did to my '08 Ultra is give the stockers to a buddy for a $100 and got my 2nd set of E3's
