Thanks for your input guy's
Michelin does offer both the metric and the alpha-numeric versions as mentioned above. If you want to see the complete listing of available sizes, follow this link and scroll down to the list of sizes.

Cheers Jerry,
I had found that link in my research looking for the numbers cross reference from Dunlop too Michelin.
The numbers were staring me in the face but didn't know it. I contacted Michelin for the cross reference size but before they got back to me you had already posted them "spot on mate" they of course came back with the same.
I see in the list the 130/90 and the 140/90 I assume go hand in hand as a mach pair . Don't know anything about tyre numbers only that the 77H stands for the load rating and 16 being wheel size, the rest is all Dubbel Dutch to me.
Where did you get that information? Cause it's wrong.
I agree, they are excellent tires.
FYI, no need to get the metric equivalent as Michelin makes the MT90B-16 and MU85B-16 sizes.
Cheers,
I think I'm going to give these Michelins a try. Now those numbers MT90B-16 and MU85B-16 sizes just throws a spanner (known as a wrench) in the works I wouldn't have a clue there're the same tyres, assuming they are the same. Only know what the 16 stands for the rest it's Dubbel Dutch. What part gives the load rating? That's where I went wrong with Continental tyres l had on at one time I didn't know about the load rating, the ride was like driving a bus down a bumpy road with no steering wheel just a pair of visegrips on the steering shaft. I put up with it for 4k then went back to Dunlop. The Dunlop's I don't mind when it's dry don't like them when it's wet.
These Michelin Commanders ll say there a good wet weather tyre and on this side of the pond we are definitely in the wet time of year it'll drop on you at any given time.
With our roundabouts and being wet with Dunlop's it's a bit unnerving I've felt them slip a few times.
