dunlope elite 3 front size?

[Guest seuadr]

i am getting new tires, and wanted to just be 100% sure before i pull the trigger, that MR90H-18 are infact the same as 120/90-18?

also, is the MU90HT-16 the right rear?

 

i've had dunlops and avons before, and i think i am going to try out the e3's on both front and back, assuming that is the right size.

 

thanks in advance, guys!

awesome. thanks. i don't have a very big budget for the bike, so i can't afford to grab the wrong tires! thanks man!

 

I'm ordering them from the same place, actually. best price around so far as i've found.

Yes, you are correct. I just ordered some E3's from Bikebandit...and stupid me...I accidently ordered a 90H-19! So, I had to send it back and order the right one....more waiting for the right tire to show up!

 

If you're ordering the back tire, there are two tires for the E3's that fit our bike. Both are 90-16's. The only difference in the code is the lettering (and a couple of dollars). However, I went to Dunlop's website and reviewed the specs for the E3. The rear tire that costs just a few dollars more actually has a higher load rating (which equates to a longer tread life). Be sure to spend the couple of extra dollars to get the one with the higher load rating!

 

ALSO, when you get your tire, be sure the date stamp is fairly recent! I didn't do that, but the shop who mounted them for me did, and I saw mine was manufactured in December 2009.

I recommend the E-3's highly and I have put over 106,000 on my bike since I have had it. I have had E-2's, Metzlers and Avons. The Avons were actually the best handling at low speeds and more agile, but any speed from 70 up got more and more squirlly. The E-3's feel very good and have worn very good. I have over 8,000 on the rear tire and have plenty of tread left, but I am getting ready to replace it because of getting a 1/4 inch piece of metal in it.

I have the Avon's now and will have to be changeing soon. How are the E3's in the rain as I ride most everyday this is important?
