Lookin to put a new Metz on my rear 08 FLXH. Was looking and they offer a 150/80HR-16 and the 150/80HB-16. In different places I've looked the HR is labeled as a Front and in other places I've searched it's labeled as a Rear. Can someone fill me in if there is a difference between the two?
Im pretty sure Metzler offers the 150/80/16 in radial or bias for the front or the rear (not the "same tire", just same size and rating), so your different sites may be selling different tires. Just make sure you buy the correct one for the position...
The site I'm looking at doesn't say its for the front or rear, so was wondering if the profiles on them are different or not? Or what the difference is between front and rear?
The tread for a front tire is slightly different. A 150 size rear tire is more common than a 150 front, but I would suggest calling/emailing customer support to confirm if the site does not specify front or rear on the item.
