DUNLOP D402 Harley‑Davidson Front Touring Tire MT90B-16 — Tubeless, Long-Wear & Stable Handling

Designed and tested in collaboration with Harley‑Davidson, the D402 front tire combines a bias construction with a three‑ply polyester casing and two fiberglass belts to deliver steady, predictable performance for long‑distance riders. Its computer‑optimized tread profile and offset center groove manage water dispersion and bridge expansion joints while the tubeless design simplifies mounting and repairs. Built in the U.S.A., this MT90B‑16 size fits a 3.00" recommended rim and suits riders who prioritize durability and highway confidence.

How does the D402 improve stability on long tours?

The D402’s multi‑layer casing and fiberglass belts add lateral stiffness and reduce tread deformation under load, which translates to stable steering at highway speeds and when carrying luggage. You’ll feel reduced wandering and consistent feedback through the front end, especially during sustained straight‑line riding.

• Three‑ply polyester casing for structural support
• Two fiberglass belts to resist flex and maintain shape
• Load rating 783 lbs at 40 PSI for touring loads
• Bias construction tuned for touring dynamics

Will this tire handle wet roads and metal grates well?

The tread was computer‑optimized with an offset center groove to channel water and reduce the impact of rain grooves and steel‑grated surfaces. That design enhances contact consistency, helping to maintain grip and rider confidence in mixed conditions without sacrificing wear life.

• Offset center groove for improved water evacuation
• Tread pattern resists cupping to extend useful life
• Optimized groove placement for predictable handling on bridges and seams
• Tubeless construction for safer puncture response and easier repairs
