Yea they "got'cha"
This is why I don't go near dealers for much of anything. When my tires need replacing (actually need replacing due to wear) I will pull the wheels myself and have an Indy install new tires onto the rims.
Whatever you paid, it was 100% too much.

No Cord, No Problem..that would include the rubber "tearing "..Then it becomes a habit to inspect the area as the tire wears....

Well the dealer just called about the tire. Dunlop says that the area is not a defect or a problem, so the dealer is sending me a refund check and I still have the original tire.
So far, this dealer has been very helpfull and I do not feel like they have taken advantage of me. Unlike some others that I have dealt with.

The dealer is Tilley Harley Davidson in Salisbury, NC. I have dealt with Tommy in sales, Jr. and Frankie in parts and Robin and Bryan in service and have been pleased with all of them.
If you are in the area, stop in and see them.
