Had an interesting trip thru some wet weather today and as a result the wife has freed up funds to replace the 402 rear tire on our '06 FLHT. As luck would have it I have a pretty decent coupon from an online retailer who is also running a sale this weekend. Now I just need help selecting the tire size. I am currently running a 130 (stock) but would like something wider if I can do it safely on the 3.0" rim. I know some people run 150 Dunlops with little or no modification (although Dunlop recommends a 3.5" rim for that size), and I've also heard that the Michelin Commander II runs a little narrower than the Dunlops. That being said, can someone give me the sku for the appropriate tire here? Thanks!
ETA: I looked at the size and ratings for the Dunlop American Elite, both the recommended 140 and the possible 150 have a load rating of 908lbs, however that is with a 3.5" rim. So I'm confused thoroughly now...

 

i am running a 150 michelin commander II on my 06 ultra without any problems.i really dont think a 3 or 3 1/2 wheel would make any difference.

 

I ended up ordering a Dunlop Elite 3 bias 150, the only selling point was that Dunlop provides load ratings for a 3.0" rim for this tire. On both the Commander 2 and the American Elite the load ratings listed are for the 3.5" wheel. I know that I'm probably overthinking this but I'm also very conscious of the fact that these two tires are the only thing between my butt and the road...
