I rode 4000 miles on a new d 402 rear tire on my 06 ultra. When I returned home I noticed chuncks of rubber missing in the center of the tread. I'm talking a chunck the size of a nicklemissing at the point of the tread pattern all around the tire. That's about 15 pieces gone. I bought a new tire for a road trip last week and upon returning I see that the same thing has happened to this tire in 3600 miles. Has anyone had this same thing happen? I'll be calling Dunlap tomorrow.
