Need some advice
My front tire size on my 2011 ultra limited is 130/80hb-17.
what does the hb mean on the size? Can I run a 130/80-17 that doesn’t have the hb on it? Sorry if this has been asked before I tried searching the forums but couldn’t find the answere.

Well, I chillin after a afternoon ride, So, with a guy with only 6-posts I'm feel good about offering a hand. 
How about;
h = 130mph,
b = Bias Belted or Belted Bias
BTW, I looked it up.
Now, @Coal-Train , Remember me when I'm in a bind.

Thank you for the help tried looking it up and read something about the hb and it said something about a curve in the wheel that kept the tire seated better. I was just afraid if I had put another tire on that wasn’t hb I’d be messing up.
