D404

- Alan T. from Rutherfordton, NC
Second set of Dunlop D404s. Both sets lasted less than 4000 miles. Too expensive to keep this up. Looking for a better alternative. I have a Yamaha Vstar 1300.

Not worth the money!

- FlyingKOW from Payne, OH
I have a Kawasaki Vulcan 750 that I very rarely ever thrash on it. Actually, I continually see if I can meet or beat my previous MPG.

Any way, I have had two of these tires now. The first tire barely made 7,000 miles of wear. I put another one on the rear this spring and the tread is nearly gone after less than 4,000 miles!

Don't waste your hard-earned cash!

Nice ride short life

- Anonymous from alberta canada
I replaced the origingal BF Goodrich excedra on the back of my v-star 1100 at 12000 kms with a Dunlop D404. Initially i was very happy with the tire but it wore very fast, I bought this tire as i had a long trip coming up in a month I checked the tire just before i left and found the tire was 90% worn after 6000 kms and one month. Never again

D404 Review

- Mike Gabriele from Richmond, Va.
I just completed a trip from Richmond, Va. to Yellowstone, Wy. and back on my V-Star 650 Custom. The rear tire now has 15,000 miles and it's time to replace it. Weather conditions ranged from monsoon rains between St.Louis and KC., 45 + winds on I-85 in Nebraska, thick fog in Yellowstone and 95+ temperatures in WY towards I-90. The D404's handled perfectly in whatever weather conditions nature threw at us, excellent tire for the money.

Dulop 404 average?

- Dave R from Colchester Ct.
I have a 1300 VTX R with 11,000 miles on the original tires. They slip in the rain and I have excessive uneven wear on the left side of the front tire. Not sure why this happens but I now have to replace the front and rear tire. If the front tire didn't wear on one side it would still be OK.

Dunlop D402

- Randy A. from South of Omaha, NE USA
This tire came original on my "01" Harley Davidson Road King Classic (spooked rims) the tires were both MT90HB-16. After my first nine (9) thousand miles the rear tire had signs of flat spotting in back from my aggressive riding. I replaced this rear tire with the larger and higher load capacity of the same tire in MB85B-16. These tires stick in corners remarkably for a non-radial. I scrape floor boards before even thinking about the tire sliding out.

In addition I have ridden often during rain storms packed down riding two up no problems. At twenty (20) thousand miles it is time to replace my original front tire and install my third rear tire this includes the original. Guess what they will be Dunlop 402's

Gone in 3600 Miles!?

- BoB Maull from Hickory, NC
Do not, I repeat do not buy a Dunlop 404 rear tire for a Honda VTX 1300R. I just turned 3600 miles on my latest one (this is the 3rd I've had). I work at the Honda motorcycle retailer in Hickory NC, and my mechanic just happened to notice the tire was worn out as he was walking by. I got 6,000 miles out of the previous tire before I realized it was bald! The tire before that I got 5,000 miles out of before if failed NC state inspection. WTF?! Enough is enough with these crappy tires. They may be sticky, but I can't afford to put new tires on every 10 weeks! Yes, 10 weeks, that's all it lasted! I hope everything I've heard about Metzeler Marathon 880s is true because that's what I'm putting on the rear 5/1/09. I've had a front me880 for 5,000+ miles and it's not showing any wear other than scuffs from leaning it over in the turns. I don't know what engineers were thinking when they designed the tire, but it is definately not intended for high mileage usage.

dunlop 404

- Michael M. Council from Cordele, Ga
I have this on my 07 honda vlx 600. It has never slipped. I have ridden in lost of rain, across stripes and tar snakes. The tire rides smoothe. I have 8500 miles on this. I should have replaced at 6500. Has had sealant inside since just over 5000. It seemed to ride better with the sealant, may not have been properly balanced. Definitely a safe tire, but looking for something with better life. Think I'll try the dual compound Spitfire.
