Runnin Hard

- Anonymous from CA
I own a 2003 Softail, and am running D402 on the Rear. Now I am known to do the occasional smoke show, and usually ride 1 up and pretty Fast even through the twisties. I'm at 17k on the bike, just over 8K per tire. I have complete confidence in this tire.

Dunlop D402's

- Bob T from Okanagan Valley Canada
After reading the past and present reviews on this tire, its apparent that it is not favored to well by most.Myself, I got 1 season on a rear D402 on my 96 Fatboy.That equates to 10,000 kms.( 6250 mi.)Starting this season with 3/32 of legal rubber. 2/32 is take off time. The tire comes new at 9/32 on an MT90-16, so do the math. 2up riding for half of last season with camping trips and all. The weight factor definitely played a big part. I don't worry too much about the front wearing. They usually get twice or more mileage than rear anyhow. The MU85-16 comes with 11/32 but too wide for the wishbone.I dunno, maybe I'll try Maxxis for a season to compare.

Dunlop tires-D402F-HD--mt90b-16 72h

- Buddy S. from Houston,Texas
I've got a 03 Road King Classic. Have had Dunlops since new. Got about 55,000 miles on bike, mainly commuting. Used to get 13000 rear-36000 front, then the riding was mainly on asphalt. Now I'm getting 7000-8000 rear 16000 front due to the highways have changed to new construction concrete w/rain grooves. Really eats up tires. Dunlops are really getting expensive with changing at least one a year, this year two. I'm going to try Maxxis bias-ply and see how my mileage is.

Dunlop 402 wwwI

- K COX from TEXAS
I have run dunlop for years.Had a 92 electrica glide sport and I got around 12000 on the back and 23000 on front. I have a 99 rk and only get 7000 to 8000 on dthe rear and25000 plus front. I would love to find a touring tire capable of more miles, but metzler gets bad reviews and I've used avon and do not like them. They are noisy and one day they are slightly worn and the next day you see these scary worn to the cord holes on them. Guess I'll stay with dunlope till something better comes along.

Siqua

- siqua from Eagle Rock, MO
I ride about 12,000 miles per year on my 2001 Road King. I have never gotten over 5,000 miles on any Dunlop rear tire. And that is right down to almost bald. I usually ride 2 up and don't consider myself a speed demon or ride my brakes.

Longest wear yet

- Anonymous from arkansas
I have over 12.5K on stock set of Dunlops 402's on Ultra Classic. I believe the rear will be around 15K at replacement. Bike is 5 mo old. Big road trip summer 08 (5500 Miles). I have done a lot of personal tire testing and average 10k on rear and 20k front like many other Dunlop owners. Other brands range from 5-8K before replacement.

Good Handling but Poor Wearing

- Jeff from Knoxville, TN - USA
I'm only my second 402, for my 2006 FLHTCI (just over 10,000 miles on the bike). I'm a 1up and primarily ride for commuting and some joy riding. I understand Dunny needs to make a profit, but come on... 5K miles on a rear tire at ~$120/tire. I'm looking at other options now that my front is within 3/32 of needing replacement. Maybe Michelin or Maxxis. My neighbor put a set of Metzler 880's on his RoadKing and he wore those out faster than he wore out the 402's.

Not a Happy Camper

- Tommy from Montgomery, AL
Bought a new Softail Custom with an original equipment 200/55R17 D407 (same as D402) on the rear. 90% of the time I ride 1 up; I don't push the bike hard and I use the rear brake sparingly. I have been happy with the handling characteristics of the tire, but after only 5,000 miles I am already down to the the tread wear indicators! Unfortunately options for this size tire are limited to Avon AV72 or Metzler ME880. Probably going to try the ME880.
