Having a rough time finding a new Dunlop D402, wide white wall front tire. Two online Bike suppliers have had me on email notice when they are available, for 2 months now..  What could be a good replacement for the Dunlop? It's a standard 16 inch wheel on the front of a Bagger.

Traveler, do yourself a favor and go with Dunlops American Elite's.
I be got them on front and rear on my 2004 FLHT Elect Bagger.
They are fantastic !
You won't regret it.
Holding a grudge is like taking poison expecting the other person to die.

Been running them for years. Last a little longer than the stock Dunlop's, cheaper to purchase.

Got a new set mounted on the rims for my 12 EG. They are waiting for me to drag my ass out to the 10° barn to install them. I might wait. It's supposed to hit 24°F this afternoon.

   American Elites are a great tire for touring, but if you ride aggressive I would use sometime better.

 Probably a good point, I've never had em slip but I can ride a set of tires square like nobody's business.  :teeth:
