Something is wrong if you wear out a tire in 3000 miles. I get triple that or more, especially with a D404.
Check our Tech section, there is some great car tire info and links there.
I'm using a Vredestein comtrac tire, it went on and fit with no issues.
Don't go to wide, as the 1500's have a narrower rim width.

ringadingh,,, what size did u get for that tire ?

I installed the 175/75/16 size, I ordered it from a tire place in Ohio and they shipped it. I think it was about $120.00

I had a d404 and got about 20,000km on it with mostly 2 up riding. No burnt outs and no aggressive riding. I just figure this is a touring bike not a crotch rocket.

I just installed a Bridgestone Turanza on my 04 1500.
Size 195/60/16
Went on real nice. No problems.
It is about 2 inches wider that the dunlop I replaced.
