FAQs

What specific Harley-Davidson models is this tyre an OE fitment for?

This tyre is an Original Equipment fitment for select Harley-Davidson touring models, including those featuring black sidewall tyres from 2014 onwards, such as the Street Glide and Softail.

What does Multi-Tread (MT) Technology mean for my ride?

MT Technology uses different rubber compounds on the tyre. The center tread is harder for longer life, while the shoulder treads are softer for enhanced grip when cornering, providing a balance of durability and performance.

How does this tyre handle in wet weather?

The tyre features angled grooves designed to efficiently disperse water from the contact patch, offering improved security and grip during rides in wet conditions.

Can I use this tyre on a motorcycle that is not a Harley-Davidson?

While it is an OE tyre for specific Harley-Davidson models, it may be possible to fit on other motorcycles if the dimensions (130/90B16), load index (67H), and speed rating (H) are compatible and meet the motorcycle's requirements. Always consult your motorcycle's manual or a professional technician for verification.

What is the recommended tyre pressure?

Recommended tyre pressure varies by motorcycle model. Always refer to your specific motorcycle's owner's manual or the information located on the vehicle's frame or swingarm for the correct pressure settings.

How can I check if the tyre is mounted in the correct direction?

Look for a directional arrow molded into the sidewall of the tyre. This arrow indicates the direction of rotation. Ensure the arrow points in the same direction as the wheel will turn when moving forward.

What is the difference between the D408 and other Dunlop motorcycle tyres?

The D408 is specifically developed with Harley-Davidson and features their Multi-Tread technology for cruiser-style motorcycles. Other Dunlop tyres may be designed for different riding styles (e.g., sport, adventure) with varying compound and tread patterns.

Troubleshooting

Tyre appears to be losing pressure slowly.

Check the tyre valve stem for leaks and ensure the valve cap is securely fitted. Inspect the tyre bead seating for any damage or debris. A slow leak may also originate from a small puncture; consult a professional for inspection and repair.

Uneven tread wear observed.

Uneven wear can be caused by improper inflation, incorrect wheel alignment, or unbalanced wheels. Ensure correct tyre pressure is maintained, check suspension components, and have the wheels professionally aligned and balanced.

Reduced grip in wet conditions.

Verify that the tread grooves are not clogged with debris. Ensure the tyre is not excessively worn, as tread depth is critical for water evacuation. Maintain correct tyre pressure for optimal contact patch and water displacement.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Primarily designed as Original Equipment, potentially limiting aftermarket appeal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Dunlop D408 Motorcycle Tyre (130/90B16 TL 67H M/C) is an Original Equipment (OE) tyre for specific Harley-Davidson models, notably touring variants from 2014 onwards. Always verify fitment with your motorcycle's manual or a professional technician to ensure compatibility with your specific make, model, and wheel size. Ensure the load index (67H) and speed rating (H) meet or exceed your motorcycle's requirements.

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic. Proper tyre mounting, balancing, and inflation are crucial for performance and safety. Ensure the tyre is fitted in the correct direction of rotation, indicated by a directional arrow on the sidewall.

Care: Regularly check tyre pressure and adjust as per your motorcycle manufacturer's recommendations. Inspect the tyre tread for wear, damage, or embedded objects. Clean the tyre surface with mild soap and water; avoid harsh solvents or petroleum-based cleaners that can degrade the rubber. Rotate your motorcycle for even tread wear if applicable, though this is less common for the front and rear specific tyres.
