DUNLOP D402 Rear Motorcycle Tyre MT90B-16 (74H) Blackwall — Harley‑Approved Touring, High Load Stability

The DUNLOP Harley‑Davidson D402 MT90B-16 (74H) rear tire is a factory‑approved touring tire engineered for stable load capacity, even wear, and confident wet‑and‑dry handling on long road trips.

This rear tire is the Dunlop D402 specification that Harley‑Davidson approved for many of its touring and cruiser models. Built to pair with the D402 front tire, it delivers a balance of durability, predictable grip and mileage for riders who cover extended distances or carry heavier loads. The MT90B-16 (74H) size and blackwall finish fit the 2001 Harley‑Davidson CVO Dyna Wide Glide FXDWGSE and similar models that call for this rear dimension.

How does the D402 improve long‑distance stability?

The D402 combines a multi‑ply casing and belt construction to support higher loads without sacrificing ride confidence. Its design reduces tire deformation under weight, keeping handling consistent when cruising or cornering with luggage or a passenger.

• Three‑ply polyester carcass for structural strength and flex control
• Two fiberglass belts that enhance load capacity and high‑speed stability
• Size MT90B‑16 (74H) matched for common Harley rear fitments

Will it handle wet roads and uneven surfaces well?

The tread profile and groove layout were developed to shed water and maintain contact on metal grates or painted road markings. The offset center groove helps channel water and reduces the tendency for cupping so the tire wears more uniformly over time.

• Computer‑optimized tread pattern improves water evacuation
• Offset center groove increases stability across rain grooves and steel grates
• Tread design minimizes irregular wear for longer service life

How does this tire match Harley‑Davidson specifications?

Dunlop produced the D402 as an approved option for Harley‑Davidson touring bikes, meeting the brand’s requirements for load and handling characteristics. Choose the D402 rear to retain factory‑intended performance and to pair correctly with the D402 front counterpart.

• Factory‑approved D402 series for Harley‑Davidson touring models
• Available in blackwall, slim white bar, or wide whitewall finishes (this listing is black wall)
• Note: D402F MT90B16 is front‑only and not interchangeable with the rear D402
