Tires DUNLOP or FEDERAL

Just got a set of Dunlop Trailmax Missions mounted on my 800 XCa and very impressed with them so far. They grip surprisingly well on the road and handle gravel and service roads/hard pack dirt roads with ease.

I have D606 on both ends at the moment. Perfectly fine on dry pavement once you trust them.

Tusk Dsport is same tread design as Dunlop 606 but 1/2 the cost. Love mine.

That's the setup I've run the most and it does just fine on pavement. I get tons of miles from the d606.

My last rear was a d606 and now I’m running the tusk d-sport. I know it’s probably blasphemy on here but I like it better than the d606

My dunlops had about 8-9k miles on them and were down to 3/32" front, and 4/32" rear.

They are super grippy so they wear faster.

I never had any slipping in the rain.

A few weeks ago, on my brand new 2023 base model I swapped out my stock Dunlops for the Continental DWS06 Plus A/S tires and have been miserable since. Yes the Continentals did their job on a recent ski trip where the roads were a mix of ice, wet and snow, but on dry roads I feel like the car handling has diminished significantly (sidewall flex) and just don’t enjoy driving it in a spirited way now. The Dunlops are a bit of a harsher ride and nosier but I’ll take that anyway over these Continentals in conditions without ice or snow.

These are the worst tires I’ve ever had on a sports car by far.

Horrible. 7500 miles on the OEM tires. Replaced them with Cross Climate 2’s.

Old post but I’ll chime in. I’m currently running them on a ninja 400 and I don’t like them. I ride hard and ride at the track. These step out all the time and are not confidence inspiring. I’ve lost the rear a couple of times at heavy lean and nearly lost the front today (saved them all). They don’t warm up quickly either.
