#209399 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata ! Platinum Boarder Posts: 4368 Bad Dunlops??? 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I've been running ME 880s and had great luck, I get 10 to 15k out of them.... well, 3 months ago I was offered 1 helluva deal on a pair of Dunlop 404's. Long story short, 3 months later the rear is about shot with 3500 miles on it. No burnouts or radical cruisin' either... I'm to old for that. It has flat spots and the center is practicaly smooth....yes, I keep the proper pressure in them. The front is a little better, but its probably only got 40 % of the tread left. Anyone else have a problem with them??? Just wondering if I have some backup before I call Dunlop.   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #209446 bwhuntr89 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 35 Re:Bad Dunlops??? 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I replaced my new(2000 miles/rear)Dunlop 404 recently because it picked up a screw. I decided to replace it with a Metzler 880. The shop I talked to told me the Dunlop was too soft for a heavy cruiser such as the RS.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #209470 Marshall (User) cuzz there's no such thing as a "factory custom" Junior Boarder Posts: 170 Re:Bad Dunlops??? 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I've never ran anything but Dunlops, First the 404's and then the Cruisemax. I regularly get close to 15k from a set and like the way they handle. They also tend to be lower priced compared to some other brands. 3500 miles seems like unusual wear, was your tire aligned properly?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #209474 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride! Just ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2132 Re:Bad Dunlops??? 2 Years, 10 Months ago   I don't know about the 404 but I run the dunlop 402! They are run on the harley's. I get around 10,000. Tires here in the desert don't last as long due to the excessive heat!! I ran a cheng shin tire once (I was desperate at the time) I got 2000 miles and it was bald as a babies butt! Here is a web site talking about the Dunlop D404 tire. http://motorcycletirereviews.com/9-1-dunlopD404.html   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #209590 The Gardener (User) OCR Gold Boarder Posts: 625 Re:Bad Dunlops??? 2 Years, 10 Months ago   i have >19KMi on an HD branded 402 metric [140/85] (new has 11/32" tread depth) I havn't put it on yet but i got a cruismax [150/80](new td 8/32" from denniskirk delivered for 117.99 WWW here too, i'll let you know what kind of milage it takes to get to 2/32"   Logged     you can find more about me & my R* on: http://www.facebook.com/davida.johansen   The administrator has disabled public write access. #211768 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata ! Platinum Boarder Posts: 4368 Re:Bad Dunlops??? 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Check you Dunlop 404's guys. After a closer exam at the dealer... they are cracked around the inside of the tread,.. like weather checked. Also found a few out right splits about an inch long. After 3500 miles and about 3 months. Front and back.   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #211793 Roadhammer (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 182 Re:Bad Dunlops??? 2 Years, 10 Months ago   a question i would ask is how old those tires are for the "great price" because if they are old and dried out then thats whats gonna happen. Old tires are bad news.

My front is gone but I'm going for a few more miles. I'm hard on the front I guess.

Rear is fine, but front is cupping, and wobbles on deceleration, and has done so for 1000 miles now. Am all ears when it comes to recommendation for another brand... have been thinking Metzlers.   Logged     Tom Heimerman Shoreview, Minnesota 2006 Road Star Midnight   The administrator has disabled public write access. #211888 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:Bad Dunlops??? 2 Years, 10 Months ago   FWIW, back when I was tire shopping, it came down to the Metz or Continentals. The Contis got great reviews, and from what I remember they are ALL made in Germany. I went with the Metz this time to try them and am happy with them, but may try Continental next time around.
