Anybody have a D408F on their Dyna? Getting ready to drop coin on a new front.. and I like my D407 rear tire.... D408 is the matching front.. new this year I think.

I think the D408 may come stock on wide glides.....

 

Looks like I'll be the first one then...

 

Did you just post on here?? Long time no see...lol!!

 

Let us know what ya think. I'm with you on the D407, Great rear tire....

 

Yeah.. Jaron.. been a while.. thought I'd jump back on.... my riding juices are flowing.. .even if the weather sucks... but crap.. I looked at that GT501F I bought... it's down to the wear bars... in 6000 miles... that sucks... way too soft.

 

I'll give an update on the D408F. I think it's a great tire so far. Got just under 1K miles on it... had it up to ~100.... in twistys and such... no sweat. Will see what the longevity of it is this season.

 

Update on the D408F.

Well, the tire was narrower than stock.. only a 90. I've probably got 5-7k on it I guess... it looks like there's more wear than I would like, but probably is on par with a narrower tire like that. I probably have enough to finish this season out (another ~3K), but I'm watching it closely at this point.

Looking to go to the 130 width version of this tire tho...

Summary: It wears quicker than I would like, but I had zero issues with this tire. Good handling, no tracking the grooves. If I didn't put about 10k per season on the bike, it would be a great alternate to the stock tire.
