A little light on the tread would be nice. The first one was good but the other two just look like black circles. Couldn't see the tread pattern. But I sincerely do appreciate your effort and your channel. Thank you
I always ignore the off road / onroad of tires. Even if I was only going to be in the muck and the rocks 10% of the time, I need full knobs when I am doing it. My present tire of choice is the Tusk Dsport. All the grip of a D606 without the cost.
@@IAmYourReflection Nah. It's a knobby, so not a joy, but the compound is firm and the knobs are huge, so better than many. About the same as a Dunlop D606, superior to the Trackmasters I had.
Hey! As far as the talking in the truck and or anything ahead of time. I personally enjoy the insight into the days journey. Not just riding, not just talking. But some info and talking about what you’re riding. You do awesome IMO
Sets (front and rear) of Dunlop D952 or Shinko 244. The d952 for occasional or weekend ride. The Shinko 244 for max grip off road and tarmac that last until the end of knobs. Best bang for buck as well.
Tusk dual sport adventure tires are half the cost of 606 and last seriously exactly as long and very similar traction and tread I did 606 for 3000 miles 2 x’sand now do tusk dual sport and get 3000 miles from them at almost half the cost. Hope that helps someone save some cash ;)
Going to be interested to see what rubber you put in the 300 Rally considering the changes in the market since this was originally shot. I run Michelin Trackers on my 250 Rally. Don’t last particularly long on road but grip fantastically in the dirt.
I need a dork's opinion. I'm thinking Kenda Millville 2 front/ Trakmaster rear. I'm mostly riding sandy trails in the NJ Pine Barrens CRF300Rally (non-ABS). And thanks for making me miss my NES and helping me pick my Rally.
He's trying this new format doing 60 second videos in addition to the regular releases. I'm pretty sure if you search this page there are some longer tire videos available. I started going back and watching some of the old stuff in the last week or two. Tons of hidden old knowledge back there.
Track master's @15psi w/Tubliss, great traction off road. I am getting about 1k miles. Yes I leave them at 15 psi on the road, don't spend much time there, they are pretty loud.
I had a Honda xr650r plated . Had good luck with Dunlop at81 front and a 5.10x18 shinko 244 in the rear . But that was for 3 weeks in Baja . The shinko was no good in mud . I could get 2500-3000 miles on that set up.
Been thinking about a wider tire for the rear. Maybe a 130 or 140/18. Thoughts? I'm still a beginner so any and everyone with some advice would be appreciated. I have a friend with a 300 Beta, running a 140 (wide) tire on the rear and swears by it. More tire on the ground and sticks out past the rim for even more traction in certain terrain. I have a 250 dual sport that is going to see, probably more off road than on but also be a 30 minute commute to work. Thoughts? Comments?
What are your thoughts with running a 130/90/18 on D606 for a 300L. Is that too heavy of a rear tire? Seems like a big jump from stock. I’m fairly new to dual sport. It’s been a blast so far. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks
Im looking for a 50/50. I do alot of highway commuting. i want to still hookup in dirt but get more than 5k out of a d606 rear and d605 front. Im thinking of staying with a d606 for the rear. Im also thinking of just staying with what i had and using two sets every season.
@@josephshaddix6119 I agree I've taken them on decent offroad conditions some sandy and gravel conditions as well, I want to test them in wet and muddy condition but thats hard when you live an az haha.
The Scout has to be one of the longest lasting tires on the market. Great in most conditions. However, my experience has been that they are atrocious in the mud.
I've my K60 rear as well. Yes only the rear. 120/90 17 has no center strip like the wider adv sizes. It's great on road bit off road needs to considered a hard terrain tire.
Poor person version of the D606 is the Tusk Dsport (but only in the back). I run the Shinko 705's but I ride a lot of street and only occasionally make bad sand decisions. And with the 705's, ANY sand is a bad decision.
@@IAmYourReflection by reputation, they're pretty bad on hard surfaces. Supposedly the winning combo is the DSport in the rear and the Pirelli MT21 in front
K270 is a great choice for a 50/50 rider.

Rear - Kenda Parker DT K772
Front - Tusk Dual Sport
Tubes - Tusk Heavy Duty
Rim Locks - Tusk
You're welcome!
What do you ride mostly? I’m looking for a good mud and rain tire.
@@kaia5591 What do I ride, as in, bike or terrain?
@@WesleyRomeo yes to both. Thx
Definitely, D606’s front and back for my DRZ400s.
how does it handle in all terrain?
@@seanphillips7574 I have 606 both front and back on my drz400 and it handles everything pretty good. Havent noticed any issues so far

I love the dsport rear the front tire is inception level dumpster fire...

I’ve been very pleased with D606s front and rear on my WR250R. Very good off pavement & good on pavement.
606 rear ,mt21 on my ktm 500 works great.. Hatfield Mccoy trails
Glad to hear you guys like your 606. I have one on the front and the only reason I haven’t cut it off the rim was and price.
Sets (front and rear) of Dunlop D952 or Shinko 244.
The d952 for occasional or weekend ride.
The Shinko 244 for max grip off road and tarmac that last until the end of knobs. Best bang for buck as well.

I had trackmasters on my 23 FE350S, but they were a little sketchy on road. Just swapped to MT 21’s and I really like them.
Only 58 seconds. I need a 15 min. Or more to satisfy my Dork fix.

What milage do you get out of D606/MT21 combo on your CRF250L?
I would like to know as well 😊
The answer is always Shinko 244’s
If you're doing mostly off-road riding when I suggest the mc360 by metzeler! I love them
Dsport review next

Try the heidenau k60 scout tires, I've had them on for about 600 miles now and they're amazing offroad.
Heidenau was the best dual sport tire I’ve had. They are truly amazing on logging roads etc. for stability

IRC on 300l is decent
Dual sports. 90/90/19. Front. Back. 110/ 90/17
I run tusk d sports on my drz. Usually at 19 psi. What do you run for dual sport pressure? What psi do you run for just dirt riding?
Heidenau k60 50/50 & motoz adventure front
How wide are those rims front and rear?
Trackmasters baby
You should try Motoz Tractioner Desert H/T
Got the d606 on my klr650 and she finally hooks in the sand 😅💀
Looks like you use a Flowbee. I use one. I didn't know they still made them so I bought one.
Solid comment!

Why only in the back?
What dont you like about the front dsport?
@@IAmYourReflection by reputation, they're pretty bad on hard surfaces. Supposedly the winning combo is the DSport in the rear and the Pirelli MT21 in front
and if you want a perfect 50 50 tire the trailmax missions are by far the best and have a 10k rear life
Those are 50/50 tires only in some marketing directors dream. 70% on road 30% off road at best. And the off road better be hard pack.
