I’ve gotten tires from denniskirk in the past. If you’re looking for Harley branded tires I’d probably use surdyke.

Whatever you get, before you buy check the date of manufacturing to make sure you aren't buying tires that aren't too old.

I’m guessing you’re referring to buying in person.

All the times I ordered from internet that wasn’t an option. Is there somewhere that provides date code?

I bought new tires for my 2009 FXD from Cycle Gear. They were the Harley Davidson - branded tires that came on the bike and I don't remember the date codes, but I remember thinking they were only a few months old. I also thought the price was pretty decent.

My new to me '98 Dyna came with nearly new Shinko 777's and they are much better than I expected, good grip wet and dry. A set is only about $240 and I'll buy them when the time comes.

If you're not mounting them yourself, make sure there is a shop nearby that will. Where I am, HD Dealers won't touch parts you bring in. If you want them to mount a tire, you have to buy it from them. It sucks, but from a liability standpoint I get it.

I got a good deal on tires from Ebay but then couldn't find a shop to install them without a $50 each install add charge. Second set of tires for the other bike, I bought them in person and the overall price was cheaper than with the surcharge. I went with the new American Elites on the Fatboy and Metzelers on the Dyna. Love them both.

I ended up buying Dunlop 401’s for front and back.

Thanks for all the replies.
