My stock rear tire is Dunlop MU85B 16 77H.....I have an Avon Av71 on the front and I want my rear to match. So I want to use Avon Av72 on the rear. They come in 140/90 16B 77H
or 150/80 16B 77V or MT90B16 74H...Can some tell me what my best option is out of these 3 choices. Greatly appreciated.. My front tire is Avon Av71 120/70 21www...... If that helps.
 
The Dunlop MU85 is a 140 tire. So I would say go with the 140/90/16 Avon Rear. The are the same size.

You can probably fit the 150/80 16B 77V Avon in there. Measure how much clearance you have around the sides of the current tire to decide. The MU85 and the 150/80 are almost the same nominal height (3 mm difference) so I don't see that as a factor. Just the width of the 150 and ensuring you will have the clearance.

Cheers,

TQ
