Default little help with proper tires
I have an 08 roadking classic with the stock tires and i will be getting new tires (blackwall)for in near future.The original specs have the tires front mt90b1672h and rear mu85b1677h. I would like to get the dunlop e3's but cant seem to find/figure out the proper replacements.If anyone could provide the correct tire size/measures for front and rear could u help.I had looked at jpcycles and they only listed rear tire mu9016(e3's) but not front e3's.I dont know jack about tire sizing.

I've run the recommended sizes of MT90HB16 front and MU90HB16 rear.

I now run the wider 150/80/16 rear and 150/80/16 front.
The front has to be pushed past the fender mount bolts when you install. Other than that no mods. The rims are narrower than Dunlop recommends. I have run 2 of the 160 E3's on the rear and 1 MU90. They all handled and wore the same.
