Cool tires

Hey all
I've got a 2006 screamin eagle ultra classic with mu85 b16 tire on the back. I wanna put a dunlop 491 elite on it with the raised white letters but the only thing i can find is a mu90 b16, will this work or will there be some rubbing issues?

Thanks in advance

Go to the Dunlop website and find the width of the two tires. Subtract the smaller width from the larger, then divide you answer by two. Then look to see if you have that much clearance on each side of the tire on your bike now. If you've got the clearance you should be good to go.
