Tires DUNLOP or KENDA

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.

The summer Dunlops that come with the VB are not good for winter use. I'd suggest getting winter tires or at least all weather tires to be on the safe side. I got Michelin CrossClimate 2's and will be rolling into winter with those here in eastern Oregon.

My Dunlop Sport Maxx’s are pretty cracked, my Skoda can out accelerate a Miat with them

Cheap Kenda tires will be heavy and not made terribly well. Not to the point of being unsafe, but there is a noticeable difference in performance between a cheap Kenda tire and something like a Continental race king or Vittoria mezcal.

I was able to break loose/slide the stock tires during my test drive in January.

I made the mistake of driving my 2018 on summer tires too late into the fall. There was no controlling it - the tires had no traction.

Yes and they sucked. I was lucky to have a very mild winter but I remember one day when it was probably around 25 with a fresh dusting of snow and they were ice skates.
