Quick take
Choosing a front/rear tire set for your powersports machine starts with the wheel-fit pattern, not the brand. Across these four sets, listed prices span $70.47 from the lowest-priced set to the highest. The sets break down into three fitment stories: a same-size pair, two mixed front/rear pairs, and a 17-inch sport-touring radial. If you already know your front and rear wheel sizes, you can narrow these four choices to one or two quickly. Since the two mixed-size sets share the same front/rear pattern, that pairing is the closest head-to-head in this group. The same-size Dunlop set and the Continental set occupy different fitment corners, so they answer different shopper needs.

Decision matrix
Use these rules before reading the detailed notes:
- Same size front and rear? The first Dunlop D404 set is the only set here built around matching front and rear tire sizes.
- Front size different from rear? The second Dunlop D404 set and the Kenda set both cover a mixed front/rear setup, so your choice comes down to details like tread design, construction, and listed price.
- 17-inch wheels? The Continental Conti Motion is the only option here for that fitment.
- Price is the tiebreaker? The Kenda set carries the lowest listed price in this group; the same-size Dunlop D404 carries the highest.
Product notes
Dunlop D404 130/90-16 + 130/90-16 Blackwall Set
Pick this when you want one tire size for both wheel positions. Both tires are 130/90-16 67H in a blackwall finish. The D404 set uses an offset center groove for straight-line stability and bias-ply construction for a smooth ride. As the highest listed price in this group, it is not the economical starting point. It also comes with a fitment caution: Dunlop does not recommend this D404 set for Harley-Davidson or Indian applications. If your bike is outside that group and takes matching 130/90-16 tires, this is the set to weigh most heavily.
Dunlop D404 100/90-19 + 130/90-16 Blackwall Set
This set is for riders whose front and rear wheels are not the same size. The D404 design carries the same blackwall look and bias-ply comfort cues as the matching-size set, but the front tire is a 100/90-19 and the rear is a 130/90-16. If you know your bike uses that front/rear pattern, this is a direct Dunlop answer. The main limitation is that it is not a matching-size set, so it will not help if you need two identical tires. It also sits mid-range on the price list rather than at the top or bottom, which may matter when you compare it with the Kenda option for the same fitment.
Kenda K671 100/90-19 + 130/90-16 Tire Set
The Kenda set is the lowest listed price in this group. It pairs a 100/90-19 front and 130/90-16 rear, and the model pairing uses a Kenda K657 Cruiser S/T front with a K671 rear. The tread includes deep offset sipes, an aggressive pattern, and a wide contact patch, and the tire is H-rated. The carcass is 6-ply-rated, and the tires are tubeless but can be used with tubes if your rims are spoked. The practical limitation is that the set-name emphasis is on K671, while the front tire model is the K657. Confirm both model numbers against your wheel and tire requirements.
Continental Conti Motion 120/70-17 + 180/55-17 Set
This set is the radial sport-touring pick among the four. Continental's Conti Motion is built for 17-inch wheels, with a 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear. It is an all-season sport-touring radial with a newly formulated polymer compound for long life and 0° steel-belt construction on the rear for stability and ride comfort. The limitation is straightforward: this size pattern only works on bikes fitted for 17-inch front and rear wheels. If your machine is in the 16-inch or 19-inch camp, this set is not the one. If it is on 17s and you want a radial, this is the set that matches.
Final recommendation by use case
- Matching front and rear tires: The Dunlop D404 130/90-16 + 130/90-16 set, provided the Dunlop fitment guidance applies to your machine.
- Mixed front/rear sizing if you want Kenda: The Kenda K671 set.
- Mixed front/rear sizing if you want Dunlop: The mixed-size Dunlop D404 set.
- Sport-touring radial: The Continental Conti Motion set.
