I am going to be buying a set of Elite Three's for my Valkyrie over the winter. I was shopping around a bit, but I prefer to buy from Direct Line.
My question is what does the "HR" mean when I read the tire size 180/70HR16 for the rear tire on Direct Line's site?
I was looking at Bike Bandit and they only list 180/70-16 on their site. Bike Bandit is cheaper but with Hal's sales, I would rather buy here.
Is their a difference in the two tires?
Thanks, Eric

"H" is for speed rating and "R" is for radial ....

Thanks for the heads up, Valktery. I used to get e-mails from them, but not lately. Been a customer for ten years.

I usually go to Motorcyclesuperstore.com, just looked, and they have an E3 for $175 or a Metz 880 for $190. And when I ordered my tires, they sent a $40 gift check.  cooldude It's always good to get free stuff!
