E3 tires

Post by The Masked Rider »

Are these the correct #s for the E3s on the Voyager Xll ?

Front MT90-16 (I believe there are letters after the 16) ??
Rear MV85-15 (I believe there are letters after the 15) ??

I believe the letters at the end may be something like HB

Any thoughts ???

SO the 72H and the 77H go at the end.? Yes?

Front MT90-16 72H
Rear MV85-15 77H

What does the 72 and 77 stand for. I believe the H is a speed rating 130mph but what about 72&77 ?

72 & 77 are the load ratings for the tire 72= 783 lb, 77= 908 lb with H being the speed rating

Masked Rider - To answer your original question, yes you have the right sizes for the XII. If you go with the E-3's you don't have to worry about the end numbers as Dunlop makes only one model of the E-3's in those sizes but here they are:

MV85B-15 (77H) Rear
MT90B-16 (72H) Front

Best price right now seems to be from Jake Wilson here:

Sorry I wasn't clear enough, Fritz. I was on my way out the door when I posted. Glad others chimed in to clear it up.

What this website needs is a go to place for available tire brand and sizes for all models of the Voyager. Also would be nice if it could include windshields, oils and amounts used by each model and any other information like coolants that is asked countless times on here. The new folks would appreciate that more than having to wait for a reply posting to find out what they need to know. :-O

We did something similar on the CB 250 Nighthawk group I belong to. It seems like most still ask rather than do a search or check out the file section where the information is located. It used to bother me. Nowdays, its just nice to have some traffic on the site. We don't mind answering them or referring them to the appropriate location on the forum.
