Tires DUNLOP or OEM Volkswagen

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.

I did get new wheels and tires and couldn\u2019t be happier. The 205/55s are a better choice for general use, being much quieter overall and considerably less harsh on city streets, while keeping very solid highway performance.

Both have with equal and even wear Tread depth a heavy 5/32” No plugs or bubbles If I could have found a used pair of these, I wouldn’t be selling this pair.

I got away with 30,000 miles before needing a new set of tires. Never had any issues with grip in rain and dry conditions, and I always rotated every 6k miles. They turn into hockey pucks below 40 F and are horrible in snow though

For summer, I am still using the stock Dunlop Enasaves. They are quiet and efficient generally, but make a lot of noise in the corners.

I got about 22,000 miles out of them. I never had any problems with grip, but they did wear out fast.

404s are pretty shit, tbh. Even Shinkos are a significant improvement. The 777 and the 230 Tour Master walk the 404.

The Dunlops didn’t seem all that grippy though; I felt the rear start to slide out inexplicably on a tight turn on a clean road that was only slightly rough and I didn’t feel like I was really pushing the bike all that much - just light throttle and was riding smoothly.

Which slick do you have exactly? I ran the d212 medium and endurance. Absolutely hated them. The medium got destroyed in one day. Started losing grip after 3 sessions already. Then I tried the endurance compound, but it also lasted only 2 days and kept losing grip. Apparently they are very sensitive to pressure, temperature and shock settings.
