2004 tire options

Is the Dunlop 402 the only tire I can get for my Electra Glide?

I have looked at everyones website and Michelin, Metzler, or anyone else dont show a model for my bike? Cant even get E3's for it?

They all make tires that will fit your bike, in E3s the front is the same size MT90-16 & rear is MU90-16, the rear size designation is different but the dimensions are nearly identical, go to Dunlop's web site & compare them yourself.

I have Michelin Commander IIs on my bike, you have about 5 choices of tire brands.

Michelin's website crashed while searching

Every major brand makes suitable tyres for your bike, including: Avon, Continental, Metzeler, Michelin, Pirelli, etc.. The subject comes up in here regularly, so you could look through recent threads, via search.

If you have a wide belt you can use any 130/90/ MT, but could also get in a 140/85/MU or 140/90, at a squeeze. With a later spec narrow belt you can get in a 150/80, which is available in the same load rating as MU. So you have almost countless options, including stock!
