Default OMG! Another Tire Thread!

I have 25,000 miles on my 2007 Ultra. I am still on the original front Dunlop D402 tire. I think I can get at least 5,000 more miles out of it. I bought a new front tire 5,000 miles ago. Sitting in the shop waiting. I am on the 5th or 6th? Rear tire. So many I forget. Dunlop, Metszler, Avon. I tried all of em. This time going back with the Dunlop D402 on the rear. At least it has Harley Davidson on the sidewall.

around here you can save about $30 by buying a D402 without the logo.


tires have a max life of 6 years--- sidewall flexing and cracking.

so your 2007, may be right on the edge, have a close look at it
