When you're shopping for powersports tires, a complete front and rear set is the most practical way to get your bike rolling on matching rubber. The four sets below cover the most common 17-inch sport bike sizes as well as 16-inch cruiser and touring sizes. All four are new and include both a front tire and a rear tire, but they differ enough in design and price that your choice really comes down to your bike.
Quick Take
If you ride a 17-inch sport bike and want the lowest-priced complete set in this group, the Max Motosports 17-inch sport tire set is the clear low-priced pick. If you want a 17-inch set with a block-style tread, the Shinko 005 Advance is a solid middle option. For 16-inch street bikes that are not Harleys, the Dunlop D404 delivers a smooth, load-carrying ride. For Harley Davidson touring specifically, the Dunlop D402 is the set designed for that job.

Product Notes
Dunlop D404 Tire Set
The Dunlop D404 set is a 16-inch pairing with a 130/90B16 front and a 150/80B16 rear. It is H-rated, bias-ply, and designed to carry high loads over long distances in wet or dry conditions. The tread compound aims to balance mileage and grip, and the offset center groove helps with straight-line stability. This makes it a natural fit for standard street bikes and cruisers that use 16-inch wheels. One important limitation: Dunlop specifically does not recommend this set for Harley Davidson motorcycles, so Harley riders should move up to the D402. For its position in the price range, the D404 offers a smooth, touring-style ride with bias-ply construction.
Max Motosports 17-Inch Sport Tire Set
This set covers the popular sport bike sizing of 120/70-17 front and 180/55-17 rear. The title calls out fitment for Honda CBR600F4i, CBR600RR, Suzuki GSXR, Yamaha YZF R6, and Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R models, along with any other bike that shares those stock sizes. The description mentions DOT certification, reinforced sidewalls, low rolling resistance, and noise-reduction technology. It is the lowest-priced complete set in this comparison, which makes it an easy entry point for riders who want a fresh pair of street tires without spending as much. The trade-off is that the listing gives little model-specific detail beyond the size pair, so it fits best when your bike already runs those same sizes.
Shinko 005 Advance Tire Set
The Shinko 005 Advance is a radial 17-inch set with a 120/70ZR-17 front and a 160/60ZR-17 rear. Its large block tread pattern is designed for strong braking, cornering, and acceleration, while the specially shaped grooves help move water away on wet pavement. The rubber compound is formulated for grip and durability, and aramid belting supports high-speed performance. This set sits between the low-priced 17-inch option and the Dunlop touring sets in price, making it a balanced pick for riders who want a named radial tire without the top price. Just note the rear is 160/60, not 180/55, so it is best for bikes that run a 160-width rear.
Dunlop D402 Harley Davidson Tire Set
The Dunlop D402 is the touring set to consider for Harley Davidson motorcycles. It uses an MT90B16 front and a MU85B16 rear, and every tire in this listing carries an H speed rating. The three-ply polyester casing with two fiberglass belts is built for stability on long rides, and the computer-optimized tread profile with an offset center groove is meant to reduce cupping and improve confidence over rain grooves and steel-grated bridges. The sidewalls also feature Harley-Davidson branding. This set is positioned at the highest price in this group, so it is a bigger investment. But for Harley riders who want a dedicated touring tire, the D402 directly matches that use case.
Final Recommendation
Choose the Max Motosports 17-Inch Sport Tire Set when you ride a compatible 17-inch sport bike and want the lowest-priced complete set. Pick the Shinko 005 Advance if you want a 17-inch set with a block tread and can run a 160 rear. Go with the Dunlop D404 for 16-inch street bikes that aren't Harleys and need a smooth, high-load set. And if you ride a Harley Davidson touring bike, the Dunlop D402 is the set to plan for.
