Your Harley’s tires are an important component. Just a small contact patch of rubber is what keeps you connected to the road. Riding on worn or inferior tires is not only dangerous, but your comfort and handling will also suffer. Make sure you’re riding on the best tires for you and your bike. At Dennis Kirk, we have the largest selection of Harley tires to choose from so you can get exactly what you need.
Harley-Davidson partners with just a couple brands to provide their OEM tires. If you’re looking for the exact replacements, you’ll find them here. We stock a full selection of Harley OE tires including Dunlop D401 and D404 touring tires, D402, and American Elite tires. For sportier tires go with the Dunlop GT503 or Michelin Scorcher tires.
Of course, there is a wide variety of other aftermarket Harley tires that you can choose from. Other top brands like Metzeler, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Continental, and Avon all produce great tires that fit on Harleys.
There are a few things to consider when choosing a different pair of shoes for your bike. First, you need to be sure you are choosing the correct load rating for your bike. A Touring bike requires a higher load rating than a Sportster. Next, you need to decide whether you would prefer radial or bias-ply. Finally, choose a tread that matches your riding style and pavement conditions.
Another thing to consider when choosing Harley tires is longevity vs traction. A harder compound will generally provide more mileage and lifespan, whereas a softer compound tends to provide more grip and feel. Modern tires do a great job of finding a balance between the two, but there are still options on either side. Be sure to read reviews on each tire and feel free to contact our Tech Team to find out real world experience with the tires you’re looking at.
