Mt90...8?
I ride a 2003 FLHPI everyday, I just rolled 100k miles and need new tires. I am looking for a good set, I generally use the standard D402 because that is the easiest to get and when I get new tires it is because I need them now. I have had Metzelers before on my Sporty and really liked them. When j tried to translate the "MT908-16" to a metric reading, it does not work. An MT90 would be a 130/90 but my specs add an "8" at the end which messes me all up. I know that the standard tire for the police model is a runflat, is that what the "8" is saying? It is supposed to be a 130/90-16 runflat? If anyone has a better tire suggestion too that would rock! Thanks everyone.
Peace.
Peace.

After speaking with several parts people, I have finally found the answer. The 8 does, in fact, stand for runflat.

Run flats are a harder compound (logically I think,) and are NOT recommended for two up riding. Just FYI.
I just tried the new Metzeler 888's and thus far I do like the improved wear and tear vs the 880's they replaced.
MU 85's will fit too (140's)
