I am going to replace the rear tire on my bike and was planning on putting on Dunlop 401 Harley Davidson series. I called cycle gear and they had a D404 in stock in my size. The two tires look the same except the 404 doesn't say Harley on it. Are these both the same tires? Anybody know anything about the 404's? I can live without having the harley logo on the tires and am much more concerned with quality.
Dunlop D401 v D404
- Thread starter Dswartz
- Start date
How much wear are we talking about? If I can get 10,000 out of the rear I'm happy. The tires seem affordable and it's only going to cost about $150 mounted and out the door so I don't mind replacing often as long as the quality is there.
Wow that's quite a difference. However, I believe the 402 is a touring tire that's meant for touring bikes. I ride a superglide and don't believe they even make a 402 sized for my bike. If they do I would be interested. Perhaps if the 404 was mounted on a larger touring bike the extra size of the bike led to increased wear on the tire.

I ran them on my FXDS . Bought at the metric store, saving 100$ off what HD wanted and their High prices.... Buying the 404 and getting 8,000 off the rear using a 150 width instead of the 140 stock one.. Yes on the HD logo/402's like Kemo says.
Remember softer is good on the pavement but Leaves a little More on the pavement..
I switched Next time, by Ordering the stock 150, HD logo ones/402 IF made for your bike..Not sure but the stock HD tire for your year bike is implied here(edited to be correct?) from the metric shop and still saves 80$ off the HD $$ store prices..Now that is including the full install.
