Dunlops are sized in Metric. I believe the rear tires is equivilent to a 140x16 Front is a 130x16. B is the speed rating. This place has some great pricing with free shipping.

I just wear 'em out and then replace with the ones I want.
Its different with tires, to me anyway..with tires I know that they will be worn out in about a year for the rear and two for the front..
The other mods aren't replacing a consumable item most often, so I just do them when I want to and can afford it....how long would it take to wear out a stock muffler....

That said, I do have an issue with the way the newer D402's wear, and have gone to Elite 3's. So far I'm very impressed with the durability and handling of the E3's, although I've had two "squiggles" on wet (rain) painted lane markers while accelerating mildly in a corner. I should just learn to stay away from these things. Anyone else hit these on wet pavement?

Ya know, I really don't think there is a ROCK SOLID tire out there. It's trial and error and because we have so many choices, if we make a switch to something and it works, we stick with it. Once something works out, most just like to stay with it and call it good (Me in this case). I'm sure if I had another brand, I'd be happy too, because most of them out there are GREAT tires. I hope I like the Avon's with the touring bike as much as my old one!
