Confused

- Frank Ondrovik DVM from Utopia,TX
I have been riding Harleys since 1972 and have never run into this; 3/09 I traded in for an '09 Heritage. I love to ride so I put quite a few miles on. 5/12/09 I ride with a friend to get his 5000 mi service work done on his '09 Deluxe. When the service guy comes out to check his rear tire I notice that mine looks worn and so I ask to have mine checked too. He has 2/32 and has a new Dunlop put on. I have 2/32 in the center and 4/32 on the edges. He has 5,500 on his bike and I have 3,550 on mine. We are both diligent about running proper pressure (his checked 38, mine 37). We do ride in the hill country of Texas, mostly on blacktop, curvey roads, but the center is worn not the edges! What the heck is going on? I can't buy a new rear tire every 2-3 months!

Low Milage Dunlops

- K Capps from West, Tn USA
I had a '99 Road King (70,000 miles on it when I sold it), around 5500 miles on the 402 Rear tire before I became nervous in the rain. I tried a Maxxis, big mistake! Bad handling after a few miles and where difficult to break down. I did get 6000 miles on that tire. I now have an '04 Road King, I admit, I don't ride this one as hard as I did the '99. Both bikes daily commuters and at least one road trip a summer. The '04 has just over 8000mi and it is bald. Also, I put nitrogen in the tires on the '04. Never had a quality or handling issue, just low millage on rear tire.

Gotta Keep Them Aired Up Dudes!

- BigPapaRoadKing from Seattle Area
I've been riding on Dunlops since '99 and have logged a total of 93,000 miles on a new rear tire every other year on a RoadKing that thinks it's an Ultra with all the bags & fairings weight.
The best advise I can give is run 40 lbs in the rear and 38 in the front. Go with the heavy rated H-77 type 402 in the rear and the H-72 is fine on the front. I ride daily in the spring-summer-fall here in Washington State and get at least a one to two week motorcycle vacation trip in a year. They have performed excellent for me.

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.
