Default Michelin Commander II question

I have a 2008 FLHTC back tire is MU85-16 what size tire should I get in the Michelin 150-80-16 or the 140-90-16. If they both will fit which one is the fattest?

The 150/80/16 should be wider.

The 150/80/16 is 5mm wider and 1mm taller, the OE tire is actually 145mm wide not 140.

I put the 140 on my 08 ultra. there is very little clearance. i was afraid the 150 would rub when going over bumps and or riding two up. just my 2 cents worth

Same as the '08 model.

MU85 or MU90/16/

MU 90 is slightly taller.

I put a MCII 150/80 on my 07 Road King Custom. Fits without a problem.
