Tires DUNLOP or Maxxis

I ride on a DHR2 rear in DD casing and MaxxTerra compound, and an Assegai front in EXO+ MaxxGrip. Really good combo for the descents but a little bit slow on the climbs.

I got myself the Grantrek AT5s. For me they have a good compromise between traction offroad and road noise on tarmac. I also fitted a full spare with one of those AT5s on it. Fits perfectly where the 3/4 sits.

The Maxxis Ikon in dual compound would be a good choice. It won't have great grip on wet roots or rocks, but sounds like that's not a concern.

Something like a maxxis ikon should roll great on the road and still work on trails.

Just about worn through my D605 on the front.

Wonderful on road. Not too loud and gives you plenty of grip in the twisties. Have found some cupping after it’s worn down but that’s pretty normal for any knob tire.

Off road handles hard pack dirt and gravel easily. Rocks and roots are okay as well. The only area is had little traction was soft sand and mud. I haven’t found a good front tire for mud yet so that’s expected.

Overall for the price and rating as a 50/50 tire, it handles very well.

They are nice tires that roll really well. Mud and other soft ground can be an issue with the low tread and cornering can be a bit iffy with minuscule side knobs and rounded profile.

Mine have 30k miles on em and I live in Cali and they havent given me any trouble. I drove to Utah last year as well for a camping trip, they held up good in the heavy rain and dirt. I plan on swapping to an all around better tire though next year

guys at the tire shop i go to said that you get good value for money with dunlop tires. they’re high quality but cost less than bridgestone or michelin. i’ve not noticed much of a difference so far as compared to michelin.

I fitted a Maxxis 2.50 WT DHF to my i25 rims. It squirmed and rolled like nobody’s business and cornering was downright scary. I doubt things will be much better on an i28 rim.

Dang, I got the craptastic Dunlops on my '21 R4PSE, but we're only at 21k miles. Sad to see somebody got 45k miles on a set. Dang, I hate to replace them prematurely, so that means I have to endure another 2 years of squeaky skittish tires.
