My last rear was a d606 and now I’m running the tusk d-sport. I know it’s probably blasphemy on here but I like it better than the d606
The D606 is a beast and will last a very long time with both dirt and pavement use.
Dunlop American elite are good, I had them on my 500+ lb honda Cx. I currently have Michelin commander 2s on my honda 650.
72k miles riding year round and like the Dunlop, after trying different manufacturers. I now use the American made Dunlop Elite, but also liked the original one because they wouldn't break loose in winter.
Like mine, I’m running Nitto NT555 G2s, they have around a 30k mileage run. As opposed to Michelins Defender 2 which have an 80k mileage the compound on most daily tires should be a little harder, lasting longer.
My experience with the plain Q5 is that that are super sensitive to pressure, 30 cold rear was tearing, 31 was minimal, and 32 was pretty clean with smooth throttle on and pretty rough pavement.
I’ve experienced some tearing on my q5s, however that’s when I wasn’t running warmers and was a bit too excited on my outlap.
About 105k miles. Got rid of them because the tires were beginning to get really bad dry rot. Still had a ton of tread left.
Mine came with dunlops and all four had to be replaced after about 16k due to dry rot.
The dunlop d214 is not great. Look at the dunlop roadsmart 3 or 4.
