Dealer replaced my front tire at 4400 miles under warranty

[Brian22601]

I bought a CVO 2008 Springer a few weeks back.  In the show room I noticed the front tire was new and the rear tire was used.  The dealer said there was a recall on the original front tire due to "cupping" so they had to change it before reselling.  The bike had just 4600 miles on it and the dealer wanted $19k for it.  I asked them to replace the rear tire before I would buy it -- and they did at no added cost to me.

I am not sure what was on it originally, but now it has the following:

Front: Dunlop D408F 130/70R18 M/C 63V Radial
Rear:  Dunlop D407   200/55R17 M/C 78V Radial

I have never had a bike with tires this wide before so I have no personal reference -- but OMG does it corner, and flat out haul the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
