I'm in the process of a Roadsmith conversion of my 2004 RoadKing - 16" stock front wheel. What type and mfg. of tire will give me the best mileage?

I got about 30k out of a stock Road King rear tire mounted to rotate backwards. No handling issues

I am using a rear tire (Dunlop 491 elite ll MU90B16). I got tired of changing the front tire every 10-12000 miles so I tried using a tire I had left over from one of my old Harleys. The tire had some wear on it so I don't really know what the final mileage will be but right now I have 12K miles on it and it still looks new. I figure at least another 10 to 15K miles. Very pleased so far.pepper My local Harley dealer:qpnmt: sure doesn't like the idea of running a rear tire on the front.......

You didn't have a rubbing problem using the MU(140)90/16. The stock front tire is a MT(130)90/16?
