Well it's time for a new front and back tire.
All i've been getting outta my back tire is around 6000miles= Not what everone else is getting thats for sure....but my miles are mostly(90%) two-up and the twisty mountains. Front tire about 12000miles.
So i'm looking to improve the life of the tires--- E3's for me.
Are these the correct sizes for a 2007 Ultra classsic???
These are what i've seen on here.
MT90HB16 Front
MU90HB16 Rear
Anyways looking forward to starting next year off with these new tires.

To monitor tire life you need a starting point, 10/32 is mine.
NoTyme must have paid extra for an additional 1/32

Tire specs
Thanks for all the great input and posts. I will be changing to an E3 once my rear tire wears out next spring. I had read about the different load rates of the tires, so did a little checking of the specs. Below are the tables. I have ane MU85 on my rear at this time, so it looks like it is rated at 908.
Also, iclick, note that there are two MU9016 E3 (74H and 78H). One is rated at only 830 and has 10/32 tread. The other is rated at 930 and has 11/32 tread. Is it possible you have the 74H since you only measure 10/32? This is something That I'll be aware of when I replace my rear tire.

Same here, and I have made my wear estimates based on that rather than the mfr's tread-depth claim of 11/32". This is not an issue for me since this tire is wearing far better than the D402's that came before it, almost 2x better. I'm amazed to say the least.
