    Hi all. Would anyone happen to have a Dunlop D401T 150/80 B16 in black non whitewall New or near new. Can’t buy a new one. Failing that is it Night dragon or Commander 3 or what?Its to fit my 2021 Heritage Classic. Got 12000 is on the current one so would like to fit another but shortage of Dunlop tyres. Cheers Daffy

    I would go the commander 3 over the night dragon. Have not had good wear results from the night dragons.

    Just be careful of age and them hardening. My last set had only done 17500km and at least 10,000km left, good in dry but coming into a corner i had the rear let go and i went into corner sideways.

    Just an update. Managed to get a new Dunlop. Has a thin whitewall which I didn’t want but just happy to get it here in SA at GC motorcycles. Cheers to all who posted
