Default Dunlop E3 tire matchup

So in looking for tires, I have read enough to know that I want to go with the E3 series.

So in looking for the tires I see the E3 Front that matches up with my stock tire size, but I am not seeing the rear match up.

on a 2008 SG here's what I have so far:

Tires (Dunlop® Harley-Davidson® Series, blackwall):
- Front – D402F MT90B16 72H
- Rear – D402 MU85B16 77H

So what did you folks do that put the E3 on your bikes, what size is the closest?

Check Jake Wilson and Dennis Kirk for prices!!! If they dont show your size call them!! I bought my last ones from Jake and it was free shipping and they had them to me in Chicago in 2 days!!....
In Florida you should be able to find an indy to install and save some $$$..Might also look into dyna beads....I use them and like them...Most guys do....Some of-corse dont...Each to his own,, :-) ..............o~`o..................... Happy Trails

Just bought 2 e3's from Jakewilson.com today both for $222, free shipping. Best price I found. Dennis Kirk was close (about $30 more w/ free shipping, but they also add a $5/tire fee)
