Lakesideglenn Posted August 9, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 9, 2018 Good morning all, I am looking to replace the tires on my 1998 RSTD and want wide whitewalls...the only manufacturer I can find who makes them in my sizes is Dunlop 404’s. Are there any other options out there that I’m missing? Looking to stay with stock size F 150/80-16 R 150/90-15 Thanks, I’m a newbie here and this is a great forum!

Gary N. Posted August 9, 2018 Share #2 Posted August 9, 2018 It's has been a few years but I believe I bought a set of Avons but had to go to the smaller front tire. For myself, I didn't care for the handling with the smaller front tire so I went back to the 404s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted August 9, 2018 Share #3 Posted August 9, 2018 Not sure what they offer now but with the old Avon Venoms, they made it in the correct size. My problem with the last two sets was cracking sidewalls. I loved them up to that point. Haven't bought them again after the last set again cracked.

Freebird Posted August 9, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2018 To my knowledge, the Dunlop is the only one available in the wide whitewall. The 404 always seemed to handle ok but didn't wear very well. Some will disagree with that however and seem to like them just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you look into the Shinko 777HD's? I believe they come in whitewall...don't know if those are wide enough though... https://www.shinkotireusa.com/product/777-777-hd-heavy-duty/211908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakesideglenn Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted August 10, 2018 Thanks for the replies. Looks like I’m going to go with the Dunlop 404’s. Not so much worried about the mileage, just want a good tire and must have the WWW. Safe riding everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put them on my 02 RSMV in May and they have very good road grip. Like them better than the 404s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakesideglenn Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share #11 Posted August 12, 2018 Oops! My bad. H.D. Is heavy duty, although they do make a HD for Harleys. So who has the best price online? Any suggestions appreciated. I’m in South NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions appreciated. I’m in South NJ See if your local motorcycle shop will match prices with the online stores (mine did as there is only one distributor for Shinko Tires) and then see what you can get a package install price for at that dealership. That way everybody wins and you get to throw a few dollars to the local economy where you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
