Default Tires
Gentlemen,

I am looking at dunlop tires. What is the difference between D 401 and D402?
Would I get a problem with a 401 rear and 402 front combination?

Thanks in advance

402 has greater load-carrying capacity and 3-ply polyester casing.
401 has bias-belted construction.

Can't help much more- Metzellers are what I use.
