Actually I'm curious about the rear tire. I had a 2009 FLHX with the 407F front replaced Free with over 17,000 miles on it.. Of course their gonna try and get out of any Free replacement.. I have had a noise in the rear tire when leaning Left or Right for awhile. Just never heard of anybody getting any replacements.. I have over 22,000 miles on my tires and can go more. Still safe.. Thanks for any information..

22,000 miles on a set of tires!!!!!! That's better than I have ever done

I thought i was doing good getting 12,000 out of the rear.

If you have a 407 rear tire you should get more than 12,000 miles. It's a great tire to get that many miles on a rear.. I'm not alone on mileage on this tire..

Once you get past the noise that this tire seems to make.....

MJB765, Regarding the noise you are experiencing on your rear tire. The sound on my rear tire changes when I lean into a curve. It has done this since  my bike was new (09SEUC). I was under the impression based on sales literature that the center portion of the tire was a harder compound than the edges to help promote longer tire life, so I took it for granted that is what the noise was.(I don't have any noise when going in a straight line ) I only have about 7500 miles on my bike, I keep the air pressure at 36 front and 40 rear and right now have no cupping on the front or the rear. I get about 20K out of a front tire on  my 95 Heritage and about 10K on the rear. I don't know what to expect out of the tires on my 09, but they still look pretty good at 7500 miles. (the front is a 407). Just a little input. CAHDBIKER

Was the problem with the Dunlop 407's only front tires or will the dealer replace the rear as well. My front is a 408, but my rear is a 407 and I have a noise when leaning hard left from the rear of the bike. I checked belt tension and wear and it looks ok, so I'm thinking tire. If it is rear also, does anyone have a copy of the TSB because the dealer said he had not heard of any tire problems at all!!!

What little noise I hear and have over 22,000 miles and still going is worth another purchase when time.. I have never even come close to this many miles on a rear tire.. Well when I had my 09 FLHX it had same tire and I had over 18,000 miles when I got my FLHTK..
