Tire bald after 2750 miles!!! I'm a stickler for proper tire pressure. Now that's an expensive piece of junk!!! Have noticed, since running Dunlops on my bike for 79,000 miles (usually Cruisemax) over a period of 11 years, the mileage has been getting less and less per tire. Used to get 12000 miles on a tire. Now, not even close.

D404 not for harleys

On dunlops web site, I did not know this. Two shops said there was not problem running this tire on a dresser. Scary!!!

Is the D404 an acceptable replacement tire for use on Harley Davidson models?

The D404 is not meant to be used on Harley Davidson motorcycles. In many cases the D404 does not have the load carrying capacity for use on Harley Davidson motorcycles. Most D404 tires are intended for lighter, cruising motorcycles and are constructed for use on those bikes. D404 tires are bias tires, not bias belted, and do not have additional supporting plies.
Motorcycle tires differ from each other in their size, their load carrying capacity, internal construction and the intended type of use. For example, tires for sport riding compared to tires for long distance touring may have different compounds, constructions and tread patterns.
Always fit the correct tires to your motorcycle, and for Harley Davidson motorcycles, never fit a D404.

Edit: I found the rated capacities.

Tire is junk

Went in to shop that installed and sold the Dunlop 404 150/80 rear tire less than 1000 miles, 75 percent or more worn out. I ride single weigh 189 lb don't abuse my eqip. Really this pisses me off. Had them installed an good air pressure no more Dunlop from Indonesia.

Dunlop 404 tire

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

Worst tire I have ever had on a bike. I hope this is not indicative of Dunlop as a whole.

Very poor tire

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

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.

Gotta a Free One

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.
