DUNLOP D402 Rear Motorcycle Tire MT90B-16 (74H) Blackwall — Touring fitment, wet traction

The DUNLOP Harley-Davidson D402 MT90B-16 (74H) is a rear motorcycle tire engineered for touring riders who need stable handling, consistent wear, and Harley-approved fitment for models such as the 2001 CVO Dyna Wide Glide (FXDWGSE).

Designed and manufactured by DUNLOP under the Harley-Davidson tire program, the D402 rear tire blends a rugged casing with a tread profile tuned for road confidence. It complements the D402 front tire and is widely chosen for long rides where load capacity and predictable behavior on wet surfaces matter. This listing covers the MT90B-16, 74H blackwall rear size specifically compatible with a range of Harley touring and cruiser applications.

How does the D402 handle wet and varied road surfaces?

The D402’s tread geometry was optimized with computer modeling to shed water efficiently and maintain contact on different pavement textures. An offset center groove and directional elements help disturb standing water and provide traction across rain grooves and metal bridges, giving steadier feedback to the rider.

• Computer-optimized tread profile for improved water evacuation
• Offset center groove reduces wandering over wet surfaces
• Tread layout minimizes cupping for consistent grip as it wears

What construction features improve load capacity and stability?

This rear D402 uses a multi-ply carcass with belt reinforcement to handle touring loads and preserve shape during hard braking or when cornering under weight. The combination of a three-ply polyester casing and two fiberglass belts raises load-carrying ability and resists deformation, which translates into confident high-speed stability and predictable steering response.

• Three-ply polyester casing for structural strength and durability
• Two fiberglass belts to stabilize the footprint at speed
• H speed rating (74H) suited for recommended Harley operating ranges

Will this tire fit my 2001 Harley-Davidson CVO Dyna Wide Glide (FXDWGSE)?

The MT90B-16 (74H) D402 rear is listed as a fit for certain Harley models including the 2001 CVO Dyna Wide Glide. Always confirm wheel size, axle, and OEM recommendations before purchase. If your bike originally used this dimension, the D402 is a direct fit and aligns with Harley-Davidson’s approved tire lineup for touring applications.

• Model compatibility: includes 2001 CVO Dyna Wide Glide (FXDWGSE)
• Confirm rim diameter (16") and width to ensure fitment
• Check OEM load and speed requirements against 74H rating

How does D402 compare for wear life and maintenance?

The D402 is engineered to resist cupping and deliver even wear through its tread geometry and casing design. Regular tire care—correct inflation, alignment, and load management—will maximize mileage. While outcomes vary by riding style and road conditions, the D402 is intended for long-distance street use and balanced wear patterns.

• Tread design reduces irregular wear for longer service life
• Stable casing reduces heat build-up and maintains pressure consistency
• Compatible with DUNLOP front D402 companion tire for matched handling

Who is this for: The DUNLOP Harley-Davidson D402 rear MT90B-16 (74H) blackwall is aimed at touring and cruiser riders who own compatible Harley-Davidson models—especially those who value factory-approved tires, steady wet-weather performance, and a stable footprint under heavy loads. It’s an appropriate choice for riders planning long trips, carrying passengers or luggage, and seeking a durable rear tire that pairs with the D402 front for uniform handling.
