50 years ago before a lot of tyre experts were born we rode as fast as our bikes could go on some ordinary tyres compared to the multi compound sticky hi tech ones of today and most of us survived, same as our cars cross ply and if you were doing it tough retreads ,regrooved tyres on the trucks except for the steer axle , todays tyre technology has produced a good selection of tyres for individual riders needs even in the bias belted format

If memory serves me correct the D404 was OEM on my 2005 Harley tho not for long. This thing tracked horribly. It seemed like it would try and follow every crack in the road to the point of being un-nerving. At 300 miles I ditched them bought Avons and never looked back. They are a dream and all that I buy. Maybe they will pro rate your tire. If so, use it towards Avons. You can thank me later!
