1 new Dunlop D 407 installed by dealer. With my discount, $320.00.
Old one removed, replaced, rebalanced new tire, & reinstalled.

 

The owner's manual tire pressure recommendations should be used as minimum pressure. If you have lost a couple of pounds and then the temp dropped 30 degrees, you would be quite under inflated. Under inflation is one of the main causes of squirrely handling. If you wore out a tire in less than 10,000 miles you are far more aggressive than I am. At the moment I have less than 100 miles on a new Commander II and it is extremely stable, but again i don't run at the limits. If it stays this nice for more than 10,000 miles it will exceed "sweet running" distance I got from my E3s. Only time and distance will tell.

 

Personally, I like a stickier tire. The Dunlops will last longer but the Metzlers or Michliens will handle better. JMO

 

Another vote for the Dunlap American Elites. They are a dual compound tire just like your originals. I got a pair to the house from Dennis Kirk for around $315 if memory serves me correctly.

 

How about Shinko tires? I was considering the 777 wide whitewall. I have zero experience with them. ~$160 for a set delivered to the door. Don't mean to hi-jack the thread...

 

Actually have run the Metzlers and Dunlops and find the Dunlops "stickier". Read an article in Motor Cycle Cruiser Mag that said the same.

 

I am a firm believer in Michelin Commanders. Had a set on the bike I just totaled and there was 15,000 miles on the rear and still had 5/32 tread. There are Dunlops on the bike I replaced it with, and I can't wait to wear them out so I can get a tire that handles.

Dunlops follow every flaw in the road, Michelins don't.

i was lucky and got 20000 miles out of my stock Dunlaps on my 2013 FLHTK, so i had the dealer replace them with the same tire. checking tire pressure is always a pita for me. I'm old, overweight and its hard for me to get the guage on those little bastards. then, when i try to fill them up or put a couple of pounds in them, i end up letting more air out than i put in....not really but it sure feels like it. i might get some of those right angle caps/stems to make it easier to work with.....anybody done that?

 

Check your tire pressure. This was my rear tire and I never noticed a wobble. Just noticed it drove really straight haha

 

You have problems dude!
