Used up two sets on my Xr650l and love them. A bit noisy on the pavement but great off-road
D606 are really good for the street. I had them on my drz400 and the street cornering grip was amazing. I could hang with any other bike on the tight roads. They're not going to like high speed over 65mph. No complaints on the wear.
Mine wore 11 year old nokians untill its rusty demise in january when i had to say farewell. They where rock hard but boy it was fun going sideways everywhere
My recommendation would be the nokian hakkapeliitta. These are by far the best snow tires I've ever used. They're also reasonably priced.
Nokian Hakkapelita’s … used to run pirelli sotto zero 3 and blizzaks … never going back. Nokians are WAY better in the winter.
Nokian Hakkapelitas. They are expensive, but once you try them you can't go back.
Just an update, I managed to find 2 sets of Nokian Haka R3 a few hours prior to my trip to Leavenworth, WA. Got out of two snow storms without a problem. These tires are bomb!
I drive the same car and drive in rain seven months of the year and snow frequently when going skiing and the Nokian Hakka R3s take all the fun out of it. The remove the drama of water over the road, and sadly, near completely remove one's ability to drift across snowy parking lots. Even in the worst weather I am limited more by cars around me than I am my own confidence when driving this combination of Swedish and Finnish (I think) brilliance.
when you lose traction, it feels like it will never get to a stop (and that's with Nokian Hakkapeliittas).
I had a set of Nokian Rotiivas with similar cracking, 30k miles on them and 50% tread left, but the tires were 5 years old. I had a blow out and nearly flipped my truck. Replace them
