DUNLOP D404 Rear Cruiser Tire 130/90-16 67H — Bias-Ply Comfort, Reliable Wet Traction

The DUNLOP D404 Rear 130/90-16 67H is a bias-ply cruiser tire engineered to give older and standard motorcycles a comfortable ride with dependable wet traction and long-wearing tread.

This rear tire blends a road-proven compound and directional tread design to suit a variety of cruiser and standard bikes that accept a 130/90-16 fitment. Built with bias-ply construction, it aims to smooth out bumps while maintaining contact with the road in mixed conditions. The D404 family is popular for riders who want a straightforward replacement tire with balanced performance rather than a specialty or high-performance race compound.

How does the DUNLOP D404 rear tire perform in wet weather?

Its tread pattern channels water away from the contact patch to reduce the risk of slipping on damp pavement. While not a specialized rain tire, the tread geometry improves stability and brake feel in light-to-moderate wet conditions.

• Tread grooves directed to evacuate water quickly from the center to the shoulders
• Compound tuned to preserve grip when the surface is slick
• Consistent contact profile for predictable handling under braking

Will this tire give good mileage without sacrificing grip?

The D404 uses a balanced tread compound designed to extend tread life while retaining usable cornering and braking grip. Expect a compromise between longevity and traction—longer wear than aggressive sport tires, with better bite than very hard touring compounds.

• Compound formulated to slow down tread wear over many miles
• Pattern that spreads load to reduce localized wear
• Durable sidewalls that resist chafing and deformation under load

What kind of ride comfort and handling does the bias-ply construction provide?

Bias-ply construction contributes to a supple, absorbed ride that works well on uneven roads and vintage-styled motorcycles. The construction favors progressive feedback and stability at lower to moderate speeds, making it comfortable for longer, relaxed rides.

• Layered carcass helps damp road shock for smoother feel
• Stable footprint for steady straight-line tracking
• Predictable turn-in for typical cruiser riding styles

Is the 130/90-16 67H size compatible with my bike and load needs?

This size is common on many mid-to-large cruiser and older standard motorcycles; the 67H load/speed rating supports typical touring and commuting loads at normal highway speeds. Check your motorcycle’s owner manual or current tire sidewall to confirm exact replacement sizing and maximum load.

• 130/90-16 nominal section width and aspect ratio for factory fitment on many cruisers
• 67 load index suits solo or light two-up riding within rated limits
• H speed rating for sustained cruising up to recommended speeds

Who is this tire best for? The DUNLOP D404 Rear 130/90-16 67H is aimed at riders who want a reliable, no-nonsense rear tire for classic, cruiser or standard motorcycles. It suits owners replacing an original-equipment tire or upgrading to a compound that emphasizes comfort and mileage while retaining adequate wet-weather performance. Choose this tire if your priorities are predictable handling, a smoother ride on rougher pavement, and a tread life that balances longevity with usable grip rather than performance extremes.
