Just did a bit of "google". Stock tire on the '07 (and probably '06; searched only '07) was the Dunlop 603, which was quite similar to the 605. Maybe some dealers were bumping up the spec to the 606, or the factory ran low on 603s and subbed the 606. Some were lucky I'd say.

Dunlop D605's listed as 50/50 here: D605, Dunlop, Australia
and here: Dunlop D605 Dual Purpose REAR - Bikebiz - New & Used Yamaha Kawasaki Aprilia Motorcycles, Motorbike Parts & Accessories
I, personally, feel that they are more of a 90/10 (street/dirt). They were pretty good on the street, but not good on the dirt/gravel/rocks/mud. I took them off within a month of having the bike and put the Shinko/Golden Boy 244's on.
Also, found a good side-by-side pic of Kenda K270 and Shinko 244's: Side-by-side pic of Kenda K270 and Shinko 244 - ADVrider
Contrary to what I stated before they are clearly different tread patterns, but are still quite similar - enough that you could easily confuse the two without them side by side.

If you don't have a 21" front wheel, you have a super moto 250sf, not a 250s.
