Equip your V-twin cruiser with the premium, co-developed pavement-gripper: the Dunlop D401T Rear Tire (150/80B16 M/C 77H TL). Engineered explicitly for heavyweight cruisers, custom choppers, and American touring platforms, this specialized road tire features advanced dual-compound technology designed to handle high engine torque and long highway stretches in unpredictable outdoor elements.
Heavy cruisers place extreme vertical load and heat stress on the center section of rear tires, leading to rapid flattening, unstable square-edged handling, and premature replacement. Dunlop solves this performance bottleneck by introducing their signature MT Multi-Tread compound into the D401T profile. The center of the tread uses a hard, wear-resistant rubber compound that delivers up to 20% more mileage traction than standard tires, while the shoulders are formulated with a high-grip lateral compound to provide absolute cornering safety and confidence when leaning your machine through tight twisties. Backed by a computer-optimized tread profile with aggressive angled groove siping, this bias-belted tire cuts cleanly through standing surface water to maximize your contact patch and resist hydroplaning in sudden downpours.

Please visually verify your current swingarm width, rear fender clearance, and stock rim specifications prior to final assembly positioning.
Key Performance Features:
- Advanced MT Multi-Tread Technology: Integrates a long-wearing center compound with high-traction shoulder rubber to achieve maximum highway mileage without sacrificing cornering lean safety.
- Computer-Optimized Groove Siping: Deeply cut tread blocks utilize a specialized layout that forces water outward, keeping you planted during severe wet-weather highway tracking.
- Harley-Davidson Co-Branded Sidewall: Features original equipment manufacturing credentials molded straight into the tire carcass, ensuring compliance with original chassis engineering.
- Robust Bias-Belted Construction: Reinforced internal layers resist carcass distortion under heavy passenger and luggage weight, preserving a smooth, compliant ride over road expansion joints.
Please Note: Drivetrain and chassis safety is critical. This listing is for a single (1) individual tubeless rear tire. The wheel/rim is shown for demonstration purposes only and is sold separately. For optimized tracking stability, it is highly recommended to pair a fresh D401T rear tire with a matching Dunlop D401 series front tire.
