Default 09+ Rear Tire Replacement Frustration

A couple weeks ago I ordered the new Dunlop American Elite rear tire from a vendor I will not name (don't think it's their fault). I called after a week of not getting a shipping status and they tell me it looks like it will be Sept before they are able to ship....back ordered till then I guess.

Has anyone found a rear tire (other than D407) for the 09+ that is in stock and ready to ship???? Preferably for a good price. And able to run with my brand new D408....???? Anyone running a proven different size tire on stock rims with no mods?

I need a tire NOW.

Try Americanmototire. If they can't fill your order now, they will cancel it out and notify you immediately. No BS.

Couldn't find anything in a 180 65 16 size there. Thanks for the site though I'll save it for later.

Any more????

What other sizes fit the stock 09 wheels with no mods????

Nobody has anything other than the stock D407?

I really don't want to have to hand Harley more cash for that POS.
I'm at 11K and need the rear replaced bad.

Check the availability before you order....

As far as I know, no one has anything available in the stock size.

The best price I found on the stock D407 rear tire was from Latus HD. Got it for 200 shipped and installed it myself.

Hopefully next time something else will be available and in stock.
