Default Dunlop E3

After reading all the reviews I have decided to put Dunlop E3s on my 2008 FLHT. The rear tire on the bike is a Dunlop D402 MU85B16. Will the Dunlop E3 MU90B16 fit with no modifications? The E3 front tire size matches what's on the bike now and the speed ratings match or are better on both replacement tires. Any suggestions on where to buy them? Thanks for the help. Spring is coming

Yes it will fit. The 90 has a slightly taller sidewall. Lots of places online to get deals on E3"'s.

I am running the exact same tires, and sizes, on my '07 FLHT. Much better tires, and longer lasting, than the 402's. I got mine from Dennis Kirk.

If you go to the Dunlop motorcycle website the exact tire dimensions are listed there and
you will see that even though the E3 is a 90 series tire it is no taller than the D402 - go
figure. I really like the E3 rear but found that an extra 5 psi makes it more stable. imo.

Great tire, not fitment issues. You could actually go to a 160 in the same tire.
Slightly wider and taller.

I looked at Dennis Kirk for my tires and they where $30 more in everything as far as tires I used revzilla.com and got them in 4days. It's worth a look.

I had one on my '08 FLHX. Loved it. Got 17k out of the rear, put another one on and my bike was totaled. I hope they come out with one for my '14 FLHXS. Gonna need a tire before summer is over.

That's odd, my search showed Dennis Kirk to be @$18.00 less than Revzilla

http://www.revzilla.com/product/dunl...ring-rear-tire
Or here, free shipping without the tire fee:http://www.jakewilson.com/t/1186/Dun...torcycle-Tires
Usually get my tires from DK or Jake Wilson within 3 days and they are always reasonably fresh.
