Dunlop 404 tire

- Joseph Thomas from Bandera, TX
This tire was great coming out of the gate. But like a five pump chump, it didn't last long. What a waste of time and money. Do not buy this tire!

Dunlop f24

- Short Bus Cycles from The real Washington
Worst tire I have ever had on a bike. I hope this is not indicative of Dunlop as a whole.

Very poor tire

- rick from new york
First I will say the first dunlop on the back I was pleased with, but the one that was installed this year I am not. After 2500 miles the center is worn flat. Time to shop for something different, I will never use dunlop again.

D404

- papalamb from Eugene, OR, USA
Tires have about 6000 miles. Flat path on the rear. Front is evenly worn. I might get a little more but will have to change before the next trip. Traction, stability, noise all good. I want the tire with excellent traction that lasts forever and is free. Bike is VN1500. Mostly ride single. I occasionally scrape the floorboards. Will do Pirellis next set.

Dunlop D404

- Jbird from South MS
Placed tires on my bike 05 Vstar 1100 myself. Ballanced ok but tires ride rough. Ready to chunk them for diffrent mfg. Seller says to rotate 180 but tires I took off had no problems other than worn. They say its the rims... Go figure...Not Happy in MS

Gotta a Free One

- Yetidaddy from Orlando, Florida USA
I ride a 08 Yamaha Venture, the OE tire an Bridgestone Exedra got me a little over 9k on the rear and the front still has about 25% on it. Today, a buddy gave me (yep it is a freebie)Dunlop 404. I will be mounting it this week. As I ride I will post my impressions of this tire.

D-404

- Jack Harley from Shepherdstown, WV
I bought a Yamaha Royal Star Venture in 2009. The OEM tire was the Dunlop D-404. I ride evenly on back roads in West Virginia and on long highway trips.

I have over 14,000 miles on my tires and it looks like I will get to about 16, 000 before I have to get new tires.

Note: I check my air pressure often and I go by the tire manufactures recommended pressure for the weight of two up riding.

Dunlop D 404

- Delboy from Northampton England
This tyre is a good compromise.
I have them fitted on my a XV1100 and use it daily
It`s a soft rubbery tyre that gives you confidence in the wet with good levels of grip but there lies the compromise.
When it`s hot and dry or in hotter climates it will wear a little quicker than a harder tyre that`s the engineering compromise..
For the UK weather I find it works for me it`s usually wet and does give me more confidence rather than a Bridgestone for arguments sake but this is down to personnel preference,
After running both manufacturers I do find the 404 falls short in terms of mileage covered about three to four thousand miles over the Life of the tyre on the rear but,
The front seams to hold its own at least in terms of mileage.
This I can put up with in the UK it`s usually raining even in the summer months so I personally need a tyre such as the 404 to give me confidence .it`s what you feel happy with.
If you�re ridding and all you�re doing is thinking about how long the tyre is going to last or when a tyre is going to let go in the wet then you�re not enjoying your ridding so buy a pushbike or a car.
The slight increase in costs over 8 thousand miles or so compared to a harder tyre doesn�t even come into the equation if you feel it`s right and the feedback from the road is good then that`s generally all you need from a tyre so for me it�s well worth the extra if it helps me to forget about my tyres and encourages me to enjoy my ridding...
