Okay, so I've been looking at tires. I need something that can grip off-road, but last a litle while on road.The Cheing shin tire is cheap, but The tread looks like a 3 year old playing with a etch-a-sketch. The Pirelli tire looks pretty nice. Any help?

 

I like my Dunlop D606's - really beefy looking and handle great in the dirt and pavement.

 

love my 606's too. Good on the road. good in the dirt....hadn't a fair try with them in the slop though. I'm sure they're fine though.

 

606's will take any muck you throw at them great tire.... they wore out kinda fast for me though.... about the same as the stock tire.... but its a great tire if your off road more than on...

 

I've got the Perelli and it does great off road but the asphalt is not it's friend.

 

Booo was hoping I'd get a little more out of it than the stock. Although I got 1500miles out of the stock and could have reasonably got a few hundred more, so I guess thats still a bonus. My front stock is fine dandy too, just hated them. Think i might go in the mud today after i put a bigger jet in.

 

its a great tire.... they seem to be wearing better for deej..... but i beat the snot out of my bike on and off asphalt.... so that might have something to do with it.... i had the kenda 270 on before the 606 and it lasted a lot longer.... think im going back to the kenda 270.

 

I've been hearing that the 606 has been lasting an average of 5000 miles with "normal" use (check out advrider.com).

 

That's funny because I have a brand new set of Kenda 270's in the shop here at work, and I don't really want to use them, I want to keep with the 606 tire, its taller andI think the compound is a lot harder. I have 3000 on my rear 606 and I think it has close to another 1000 miles left in it.Too bad shipping was so much, or other wise I could send the 270's to you and you could buy me a set of 606's and we could do some sort of trade. Hmmmmmm Someone told me that the 270 would be a great motard tire and still have some off road ability. It has twice the blocks as the 606, and is a lot softer compound for sticking on the blacktop. They sort of remind me of the old dual sport 50/50 tires.

 

Either i got a bad batch of rubber with my 606's or i ridefaaar from "normal" lol im leaning towards the ladder...... damn.....
