« on: June 24, 2008, 12:17:42 PM »

Did you stick with the stock sizing as well?

I've been through one rear and halfway through another.  New front when the first rear went on.  They've been fine.  Wet handling ok.  Quiet too.  Seem to last on par with what prior Dunlops or Metzlers did.

No problem Keith.  First one went about 9k.  So far this one looks to go about the same.

Have 10K on the rear and it'll get replaced next week (still has a little left but the handling has gone away).

My stock size is MU85B16 77H  and the only thing close is the Bias ply MU90B16 78H.

I have no idea what the radial size would be, but the Bias ply has the good load rating.

Any thoughts?

Sorry dude, they don't make it anymore. The front from our SERK3's now use the same D407's on the '08 SERK's. No E3 front anymore. The rear is a D407. Hate that 407 front. I'll be ordering Metzler ME880 Radials next for mine. ;)
