Well I brought my bike back to the dealer today and they replaced my tire with a 408 under warranty. I picked it up right before closing and rode it home. Only problem is the bike vibrates twice as bad as when I brought it in. At 75 the whole bike shutters. Guess it's back to the dealer I go.

Sounds like they either did not balance the tire and wheel or they did a poor job. Take it back.

Had my 09 UC in for a nother issue, dealer saw it had a 407 on the front and just changed it out. Tire only had 1100 miles on it so it wasn't even showing any wear. Sometimes dealers go the extra mile and just do the right thing, mine did and I really appreciate it. Gives me a lot more confidence when it comes to having them service my new bike.

Hey 105, are you checking your tire pressure regularly? Just a thought ...

My thoughts exactly......I check mine weekly.
I had my front replaced (service bulletin) with just over 10K on it, it could of gone to 15K.
My rear will surely make it to 15K.

That's a good point. When the service guy changed my 407F to a 408F he said to run 38 front and 40 rear. I run 40 front and 44 rear because I'm two up most of the time.

yes guys I'm a stickler at checking all the air tires rear shocks with 11000 miles there's still plenty of tread its scalloped and it roars like crazy when cornering above 25mph. The rear tire looks just like the front did have been riding bikes all my life and never have seen tires cup and sing like these Dunlops do.
