Quick verdict
Choosing between two complete motorcycle tire sets in the powersports tires, brakes, and suspension space comes down to wheel size and riding style. If you own a sportbike and want a complete front-and-rear tire set, the Max Motosports 120/70ZR17 180/55ZR17 is the lower-priced pick. If you tour on a Harley-Davidson and need the D402's front and rear fitment, the Dunlop D402 MT90B16 MU85B16 is the touring-oriented set to choose. Both are new front-and-rear sets, so the decision hinges on which fitment matches your bike and which listed price works for you.

Product notes
Max Motosports 120/70ZR17 180/55ZR17
This set pairs a 120/70-17 front tire with a 180/55-17 rear tire, matching the common fitment for many Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Kawasaki sportbikes. It comes as a complete front-and-rear set with features such as advanced noise reduction, wet and dry traction, and short braking distance, along with a reinforced sidewall for load capacity and low rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency. The tire is DOT-certified and features a blackwall sidewall. The main limitation is that the set is tied to those 17-inch sizes, so it will not fit a bike that needs the 16-inch front and rear tires of the Dunlop set. If your sportbike matches the 120/70-17 and 180/55-17 fitment, this set gives you both tires at the lower listed price in this comparison, making it the straightforward pick for riders focused on that specific 17-inch fitment.
Dunlop D402 MT90B16 MU85B16
The Dunlop D402 set consists of an MT90B16 front tire and an MU85B16 rear tire, sized for Harley-Davidson touring bikes. The D402 is an approved Harley-Davidson touring tire with a three-ply polyester casing and two fiberglass belts, and it carries an H speed rating. The computer-optimized tread profile with an offset center groove is designed to help reduce cupping, while Harley-Davidson branding appears on the sidewalls. The front tire has a 72H load rating and the rear tire has a 77H load rating. The main limitation is the higher listed price compared with the Max Motosports set, along with the 16-inch front and rear sizes that will not suit a sportbike with 17-inch wheels. If you need the D402 for a Harley-Davidson touring model, this is the touring-specific set to consider.
Final choice by use case
- If you ride a sportbike and want the Max Motosports set, the listed price is USD 145.00.
- If you tour on a Harley-Davidson and want the Dunlop D402 set, the listed price is USD 443.98.
