I run D402 Dunlop MT90B16 tubeless front and rear. I get about 12k rear, 35+ front.

They go about $400./pr for blackwall, maybe a little less if you shop around.

Bike sat 8 years with a 3 year old front tire with about 20K on it. When I was back, I ran it probably 4000 in the summer before I changed it. Minimal cracking but pretty old

Sounds like Chinese tires are a no go for me. I’ll stick with Dunlops.

I have a set of 777 HD shinkos going on this weekend. I'll let you know how they do. It's a 45 year old harley, I'm not too worried about their performance. As long as they're round and rubber...lol

These are what I run on my 2012 FXDC. So far my favorite tire across 3 different bikes.

"I run D402 Dunlop MT90B16 tubeless front and rear. I get about 12k rear, 35+ front."
I gota call BS on this. Never in my life have I got more than about 8K out of a rear or about 10-12 out of a front and I am **** about checking my air pressure. And I've run Dunlop 402s,Elite 4s, and American Elites.

I had a Stinko on the back of my 2013 RK (came on the bike) and it was great, lots of grip. My 72 FX has them as well for the period look (they were on the bike when I bought it). Based on how inadequate the bike handles with toothpicks for forks and questionable braking these tires will be more than good enough until its time to replace them.
