2010 Limited rear tire problem
I have about 11000 miles on the rear tire. Problem when going around curve I hear a roaring buzzing noise coming from the rear. Seems worse when turning to the left. I put bike on lift and don't see scalloped type wear as I have seen on other bike front tires. It does have a tapered wear between the sidewall tread cuts. That is it is worn in a wedge shape between the cuts. It is worn thin at one cut and is much thicker at the adjacent cut. The tire is a Dunlop D407 NW 180/65 B16 81H Also the center of the tread is worn flat like the pressure was low. It has never been run low. Looking for ammunition when I take it to dealer. I have seen scalloping problems with the 2009 models posted on here, but not the 2010. Bike was built in 2009 so I guess it could be part of the 2009 issue.

11000 miles, sounds like everything is good, the only thing I would add is, that the very center of a tire wearing, if (and this is a big IF, since I can not tell whether this is the normal center wear) it is wearing more than it should, would be caused by over inflation, not under inflation.

Same thing happened on my limited at 8-9K. As stated before it is cupping of the rear tire. Took mine to the dealer and HD won't warrenty the tire. They were replacing the fronts in 2009 but never the rear. Buy a new one and all will be well again. I am trying the Dunlop American Elite. Very few manufacturers make tires to fit the new (2009 on) Ultras. All I could find are Dunlop, Metzler and recently Avon. IMHO HD or Dunlop should relplace the tire, Looked like I had another 5K life in the tire. Hope the American Elite last longer, completely different tread pattern. Best of Luck to ya.
