Default 150/80-16 change to 140/90-16

Can anyone tell me if a 140/90-16 tire will fit on an 07 Heritage rear end. The stock tire is a 150/80-16. Can I use the 140/90-16 size????

I appreciate your quick reply. I need a tire in the worst way and don't have the $365 my local dealer wants to put a new one on. Found one on Craigslist in this size that I might can get and needed to know if it would fit.

Thanks!

That's an absolute. All I need is a 10 year old tire, LOL! Thanks for the heads up though!

Not a bad idea when traveling over speed bumps either. I went over some RR tracks one time and ripped my Gremlin bell off! LOL!
