Looking for new tires

[bkuhr]

for my 83 rear, plan on E3 and looking for MU90B16.(recommended from dunlop fitment guide)

Dennis Kirk has a MU90HB16 listed here http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/search/search.jsp?searchString=mu90b16&store=&resultType=subCategories&x=13&y=7

 

Question, what is the H in MU90HB16?, For that matter would be interested to know what all the letter/number positions mean. Best I can tell from dunlop site info below is

MU90=140/90

H=speed rating 130mph

B=unk?

16=assume rim size?

 

Without getting into tire type discussion, would this work on my scoot?

150/80		MV85		6.00 to 6.25
150/90		MV85		6.00 to 6.25

The H is the speed rating (130mph). H is pretty much standard so it's often omitted.

 

The MU90 is an older tire size spec. It's roughly equivalent to 140/90.

 

The B means it's belted.
