Tires DUNLOP or FEDERAL

Finally got a chance to run 5 sessions on the Dunlop Mutant tires at a local track. Overall thoughts - what a great tire. Amazing feel, which is an intangible, but I love how this tire delivers feedback and I really like the profile of the 120/150 combo on my WR250R Supermoto. Overall grip is fantastic but you can definitely feel they do not want to be pushed at a very fast pace like you could on a ContiAttack or Q5. They have way more grip than some older gen tires like the Pilot Power 2CT though, possibly as much as the original Dunlop Q3. The tread pattern does not squirm at all either, felt super stable under trail braking. Wear pattern is also solid but that’s expected with a 250. Highly recommend giving these a try for a do everything set up.

My z900rs came with Dunlop sport max gpr-300s. There is a series of twistiest at the bottom of my road…so lucky! Car takes them at 25mph safely. The z900 with gpr-300’s takes these same twisties at 50-60mph pretty solid and I ain’t no gp racer.

I kept my stock Dunlops for about a year & they did well for me on/off road & with snow.

Federal 595's are to my knowledge, the best bang for your buck.

I drove them through 3 winters and did pretty ok. Took them off at 30K because they were screaming around corners every time I turned and it was annoying. They had lost their good traction properties in wet conditions by that time anyways.

I know people don’t like the stock tires but when it’s nice and warm out I think they perform pretty well.

Dunlops are my least favorite tires. They suck and gpr300’s, which you have, are cheap even for Dunlops.

Overall experience with the stock tires was great at first then after 4-5 months I couldn’t bear them. They did alright in the snow and ice but i was also super careful and it doesn’t snow bad where I live.

They came stock on my 2012 Taco. I hated them. They were excellent at getting stuck in mud and losing traction in the rain.
