Default tire sizes

Will an MT90B16 tire fit on a 16X3.5" rim? Or is it too narrow?

3.5" is the widest rim size for that tyre, so yes it will fit.

Yes it will. 150 is the widest that you can put on a 3" rim.

Default new tire

hi, I have to replace the rear tire on my 1998 Road King, it is a Harley Dunlop MT90B16 can I replace it with a 130/90 16?
I am going to the Toronto Spring bike show on Saturday, and would like to pick one up there.

An MT is the same size as a 130/90. The thing to be certain of is that any tyre you buy has a load rating the same as an MT, which is 74.
