Nighttrain trires
I have a 07 Harley Nighttrain(FXSTB). I currently have the D205 200/55/17 rear tire. A buddy of mine has the same bike with a D407 200/55/17 rear tire. What is the difference in these tires(mileage,compound, etc...)?

I think the D205 is more of a "sport touring" tire.. a little more sticky and softer while the 407 is harder and more for "regular" touring. \\; I was told the D407 was a higher mileage tire.

I just replaced the D205 on my Train at 12K, probably coulda got a little more out of it, but I'll err on the side of safety...got the D407 on there now, and I can't tell any difference in appearance or handling,but I was told I should get a little more mileage...

12K sounds like alot of miles on that tire. I thought the average miles on
this tire was around 5K.

I dunno...I know that at 12K, it wasn't quite to the wear bars, still coulda got a few more miles, but that's just me...
