- How did my first set of Dunlop D606s do?
They did very well!
This was my first time riding on a set of Dunlop D606s and I have to say that the tires did just fine for the type of riding and terrain I put them through.
At 3800 miles it is now time to have them replaced although the rear tire could keep going for a few more miles but the center tread has deep cracking so I'm just replacing both tires.
The front tire definitely wore out faster than the rear, it's now missing most of the center tread (knobs) which makes riding the tires off road no bueno. No cracking in the sidewalls on either tire.
Overall, great tires!

Thanks for the review! For D606 and MT21 we swap the front at 4000km and rear at 6000km... which aligns with 2500f/4000r miles. Everyone gets that front wear pattern for both brands: your Dsports will do the same on the front it will just take longer.
I had good luck running the Kenda K270 tires on mine in Arizona. The knobs are more closely spaced then the D606, but that actually works better on hard packed dirt and gravel roads. And I ran those tires up to 100 mph on pavement. They are good for about 2500 to 3000 miles on the rear and double that on the front And I did not get any of that weird wear pattern on the front tire. The D606 might be better in mud but on gravel roads the Kenda is actually better. I also have a tire pump called the Mountain Morph, and it works really well for changing your tire pressure between street and dirt.
I have the D sport on my KLR and they wear exactly the same and mileage is the same too. What I do not like is vibration and noise. Next set will be Motoz dual venture front and Rallyz rear…expensive but 6K miles.
Good to know! I'll have to check out those tires!
Very interesting discussion on the Dunlap tires and tires in general. I would not buy those d606 is again I would try something different.
Had my set for 2k. Same riding conditions as you (AZ/CA Desert). Fronts wore well, just aged crackedbetween knobs. Rear was done at 2k. Curious about the front knobs breaking off. Good vid.
I bought a motoz Dualventure tubeless for front...rallz on the back...dr650...so far so good...500 miles
Just had another person comment on both these tires, definitely checking them out!
Knobs coming off. Would you say that's from road (asphalt) wear?
Good video. I’d recommend not shooting in such a wide angle. It distorts the picture and keeps us from seeing a realistic picture. It makes it harder to see the tread. Not a huge deal, just my thoughts.
My front tire did the same thing. I run a Pirelli MT21in the front and a D606 rear. I wonder if I have been running too much/not enough psi when on the road? Or do they all just do this?
Good questions. How's the MT21 holding out?
@@precipiceofgrind The Pirelli MT21 has been a great tire for both off road and on road. The wear is not as extreme as your tire and have logged 2200 miles since installed. I have another set of the same Pirelli /D606 combo ready to go but I will likely get another season on them. Where I live there is a lot more mud than rock, so I believe most of the wear I get is from road riding.
What's your comparison wit the Dsport? Considering both for my KLR, as well as Shinko 244 (and maybe 804/5).
All fronts that alternate single-knob->double-knob wear that way on dualsports: with the double knobs wearing down at 2x the rate. Fiddling with pressure does little: just decide to replace fronts at 2500m/4000km and stick to it. Your MT21f/D606r combo is what many consider the best dualsport combo: congrats!
I wonder what shinkos are some other inexpensive tires would be like cuz it is 3824 miles and fried be just as good maybe and less expensive cuz money is expensive....!!!!
You might give the Kenda K270 tires a try. The front tires do not chunk like the D606. They kind of have smaller closer spaced knobs. However, that type of pattern actually seems to work better on hard pack dirt roads, maybe not the best for mud, but on gravel roads, they rock the rear is good for about 2500-3000 miles and the front double that.
