D606 Dual Sport Rear tire
Great tire for 90% dirt, 10% street. Street riding is comfortable but, the knobs make a buzzing sound at highway speeds. I have about 300 miles on the set and the street miles are taking their toll. Probably won't last as long as an MT-21, but it hooks better in the dirt.
These tires are mounted on a 2002 DRZ 400s

great tire
I put the tire on my drz 400 and it is fun to ride off road now I can even pull wheelies on and off the road! It still handles well I even passed a few sport tour bikes going up to sky line drive. I put a Continental - TKC 80 on the front.

Just put it on and road it around the yard, but can tell it has good traction. I have a XR650L and do a lot of dual sport riding so I think this will be good.

Great tire. Excellent traction on all surfaces. Handles very well on the street for an aggressive knobby.

So far so good
So far I really like this back tire. Seems to be wearing well. I have about 200 miles on it. 50% dirt/road. Grips well on dirt roads and single track. Typical knobby on road.

hooks up great
I have this on the back and a Pirelli Scorpion on the front and the difference between these and the "Deathwings" my DR650 SE came with is night and day.
My local bike shop told me to buy it from here and not them when I told the mechanic how much they cost here. It's cheaper than even they can get them for.

Great dual sport tire for the 70% off road rider
If you ride a dual sport bike and spend 70% of your time off road this might be the perfect tire. I mounted the D606s on my 09 KLR 650 to ride mostly off road. They proved their worth riding through 2,700 miles of gravel, sand, slick clay and through rocky bottom stream crossings. They also lasted for another 1,300 miles of riding on wet and dry pavement. Before the tires flat spot they provide good feel and turn in while riding on the road. I wasn't crazy about how the front tire tracked on gravel roads but it never let me down. Yep, I'd buy em again!

Dunlop D606 Dual Sport Rear Tire
Installed on 2004 XR650L with a D606 on the front they do well on the road & woods trails & seasonal roads, they are a little noisy, but I would expect that with a tire this aggressive. Also put one of these on my sons 1997 DR350 & will be putting a D606 when it's time for a tire on the front!

D606 Tires
The stock tires on my wr250r were used up, so I bought a pair of these because of reviews from ADV and TT. They are good looking slightly taller tires that were kind of hard to put on because of being so firm. They aren't too bad on the road, but do make considerably more noise. Next time, I think I will use a 606 rear and a stock Trailwing up front. Price was great on the pair...shipping and everything for around $140.

Pretty pleased so far but only had the tire about a month. Put it on XR650L and works great off road, used mainly on rocky and sandy terrain. Little noisy on the highway but its a knobby. Commute about 200 miles a week to work and looks like its holding up pretty well. Overall happy with purchase.

One tire both worlds
I'm not sure if I can rate the D606 Rear dual-sport tire in all fairness yet. I've only put 300 miles on it. But so far it seems to be fairly stable on the pavement (no off road time yet). This large lugged tire sings a pretty good tune at 60 mph. Time will tell on how well it wears.

It's official, thumpers. You can count me among the legions of fans of the Dunlop D606. A 60/40 on/off kind of guy, I'm a week into a new pair and more impressed by the muddy mile. From the start, I was thrilled at how well these suckers do on pavement. Leaning into a turn is no problem -in fact you can still have a blast on those twisty roads to nowhere. Speed does not bring about any unexpected behavior at all. The howl of the knobs is there but it's not nearly as dramatic as some sensitive types have made it out to be. It's sort of a low moan, like a kid trying to mimic the sound of a cartoon ghost. I got used to it within days and barely notice it anymore. When I do notice, I consider it my Suzuki DR650 expressing glee over the landscape upon which we're riding: “Oooooooooh”

This tire is amazing, especially in comparison with my last one, though I don't remember what my last one was. I have it mounted on a 250 and now this thing can finally go basically anywhere!!! It is amazingly enough not even squirly on the road yet grips like fierce off road.
Overall-Great Tire!!!

Dunlop - D606 Dual Sport Rear Tire
I put his tire on the rear of my DR650 for a trip to Moab recently and was extremely pleased with the way my bike performed on the mix of sand, gravel, and rocky trails that I rode. Vast improvement over the OEM Trailwings that came on the bike. I will definitely consider buying this tire again in the future. I will point out that I was running a Pirelli MT21 on the front. This has been and outstanding off-road combo of tires on my Suzuki for more aggressive trail riding.

Good tires, I'll buy them again
Nothing bad to say about the 606's. Better on the street then I thought they would be. Freeway speeds are stable but noisy. Gravel/Hardpan - need to air down. Loose dirt/mud - hooks up very well.
Very stiff carcass, a little hard to install.

Dunlop 606
For my use on forest roads, with lots of paved miles in between, I prefer the 606 over any other tires on my KLR. I get very good mileage, good grip on many surface conditions, and once used to the buzz, they work fine on pavement. There are cheaper tires, but they are not as durable, nor do they perform as I wish.

I've tried many tires and for this size bike have been a repeat buyer with the 606. I buy it in the 130 size. It works great in the combined terrain I ride in from shale to heavy mud. Great traction and wear life. Great puncture resistance...never had a flat with them.

Bought this tire to replace the stock rear tire on my KLR650 which was work out. This tire seems very tough. It was a lot harder to install than the front tire. Very aggressive knobbies for the street but should be excellent off road.

Great tire in the dirt as you would expect, but what amazed me was how good it holds the pavement. Makes a little road noise and would be nice if it got a few more miles, but then it wouldn't stick as well , would it!

Ordered this as replacement for when my stock wore out. Only had it couple of weeks when I had a flat on the stock, so decided to put it on. Great tire and just what I expected. The price was right and have gone 200 miles on it, all gravel/dirt roads. I don't expect any problems and look forward to a little mud now. Found the best price here for this tire.

Best tire ever!
This is the best dual sport tire I have ever used. I have 3000 miles on it and it still has about 50% tread left. It does wonders when you are in the dirt and still handles like a sport bike on the road. If you have a DRZ400 this is the tire to get

excellent set of tires
I ride mostly off-road with my wr250r and these tires have done me wonders, I have yet to cross a river or find a trail, no matter how easy or technical the trail may be that will stop me or the tires.
All and all these tires are incredible, I have had to do a couple emergency stops and ride in some horrendous rain storms and they handled very well. You can’t even notice a difference if riding in the rain except the fact your getting soaked. The highest speed I have reached is 142km on these babies (As fast as the wr will go). I will defiantly be buying another set of these, the tires also seem to be wearing out allot slower then I had thought, and they seem to wear out quite evenly, I have probably about 700km on the road and 1300km on the trails with these tires and I am very impressed.

I bought this tire not knowing how it would handle and I’m happy that the guy's there recommended it to me. I first tried it out on the trails with my KLR 250 with 17 psi in the back and 20 on the front it handled well and made for a nice ride I then hit the road and cruised at a cool 70 mph I was pleased with the ride as well, there was no humming from the tires like you might think a knobby would have and the cornering was super. This is a nice tire on and off the road. I won't use anything else for now on. Thanks for the great service and the speedy delivery. These guys are the best and know what they are talking about.

Awesome tires!!
Wish I had found this site earlier, as their prices are much better than what I have found in the past. I just bought my 3rd set of 606's for my XR650R. I love these tires. They hook up extremely well in the dirt, and stick like glue on the pavement! I have not had any problems with them at highway speeds either. Since I am one of those "idiots" that rides all year long, I recently added carbide studs to a set of 606's for winter riding! Except for the buzzing sound of the studs on pavement, the bike doesn't seem to handle any differently. I am going to order another set of these tires for my other bike as well, a 2002 XR650L.

Awesome 606's on a '05 KLR250
This tire hooks-up great on all types of dirt also great grip on street. Did 65-70mph on street with no problems. Didn't notice tire humming (like the KLR650 riders) - maybe because of the lighter weight of the 250? 90/90-21 fits like stock, but you'll need a 40-sprocket rear for swing arm clearance with the 130/90-17. For more clearance, remove the stock muffler, have a custom rear pipe made, slap-on a muffler of your choice (mine's an FMF Megamax - don't forget to re-jet & adjust; using MAIN 122.5 & PILOT 38). Remember, these are knobbies, so don't go crazy on pavement! Be safe.

Dunlop D606 rear
I replaced my stock rear on my XR650L with this tire and I'm very impressed with it. It hooks up very well on the road and off. I only have my stock rear to compare to it and it's night and day off road. I ride trails that have loose dirt, deep sand and tight single track and this tire was a great choice IMHO. I would get another one in a heartbeat. The price on this site is tough to beat and makes this tire an extremely good value. Awesome dual sport tire. Couple this tire with a Pirelli Scorpion pro up front and you've got a heck of a good combo for the above mentioned types of trails!!!!

Nice for KLR650
I put a pair of D606 tires on my KLR650, great performance off road compared to the stock tires. They hook up really well on the soft stuff where the stock tires would slip quite a lot. On road they are not as nice as the stock tires but I can live with the performance compromise for the extended tire life, they chirp easier on the street around corners and stopping. I would highly recommend for dual sport riding mostly off road or short road trips, but probably not for the touring dual sport riders. They howl pretty good on the street too, could get annoying for the long haul.

This tire is the best on-off road tire that I have found. Aggressive on the trail and surprisingly sticky on the slab. Will buy again.

Nice tire
Replaced stock tires with the D606 front and rear. I have only been off road a couple times since, but this tire hooked up well in deep mud, hard packed, and sandy soil. Very stabile on the highway up to 74 mph, then the front end moves around. Not sure how they will wear, but as of now I am impressed.

Street legal off-road tires!!
If you want your street legal enduro to stay street legal and still have tires as aggressive as your dirt bike, then these are the tires for you. Not too bad on the road, slight-noticeable hum at around 50mph to 60mph, but all out off road traction when you leave the pavement. Definitely worth the trade-off if your bike sees more trail than road. DOT legal and very manageable on road.

desert tire
The 606's are great out here in the southwest desert. Great traction on a 650R in sand, hard pack, rock, and loose dirt.(not much mud here) The edges 'smudge' a little when driven hard on pavement, and you can expect quick wear on pavement. Overall great tire for dual sporting where you are 70% or better off road. Have done 3, 200+ mile rides on one set before replacement. They were tough trails, and the tires still had enough meat left to save as spares.

Hooked up better than I expected in heavy mud and great on pavement. I’ve only had them a month so not sure how they will wear but from what I can tell so far does not look like it will last long riding on pavement.

The D606 on my KLR 650
This tire rocks. It grips everything it rolls over from dirt and mud to stone and pavement. It makes my dual sport look more dirt than street which is awesome. Two weeks of riding and it shows no wear at all so far so I think it should last. Thanks Dunlop!

Fits and looks great on my KLR 650. Chirps a lot easier on the pavement when downshifting though. I would imagine that life expectancy on pavement would not be the greatest, but all around a great tire and great value.

Better off
This is a great off road tire. We have a lot of wet sticky mud in this area, and it cleans itself very well. Also does well on the hard pack if you play with the pressure. As far as on road goes not many miles of wear in this tire on the rear. I have a XR650L that has had these tires on it from week one. The factory skins had to go. The bike has 3200 miles on it now. The front is doing great. I'm on my second rear now and will have to change it by the time I get to 4000 miles. The first one had good tread at 2000 miles, but started to chunk, and split. This one on it now looks as if it going to do the same. But even at this the tire for a full blown knob has very good manners on the street. Even in the wet. My riding is about 60% on and 40% off. For the money, and the way they work off road. Really you can't go wrong with these tires. I'll keep buying them.

Dunlop D606 Dual Sport Rear Tire
I have a 2006 Suzuki DR650SE. The OEM tire lasted 6 months and was almost completely worn out. I replaced it with a Dunlop D606. After almost 4500 miles, I decided it was time to replace it again. It still has some tread left, but not enough to pass the annual inspection. I chose to get another D606. Although a large portion of my riding is on highways (120 miles round trip to work), I have log some dirt miles as well. This tire is the best wearing knobby I have ever have on a dual sport/dual purpose motorcycle (the Dr is my 7th over the last 30 years). It's about time to replace the from OEM tire, and have already ordered a front Dunlop. I would recommend this tire to anyone looking for a full knobby with good wear on the road.

I have about 300 miles on this tire. Most of the riding is in the dirt. As advertised, it is a 90/10 tire for mostly off roading. Mounted on a suzuki DRZ400S. Works fine on the road for casual rides on back roads. Not as good in dirt as a true MX tire. It isn't as aggressive as a single purpose dirt tire. But it is worlds apart better in the dirt than the stock dual sport tires the bike came with. I feel it is pretty good in the dirt and will get you around fine on the roads provided you

I'd have to agree with Mr. on the 'squirrely at first', but they break in quickly. Definitely as advertised. Used on 2001 XR650R that has been made street legal. I would not recommend these for any more than 10% on-road travel, but they are great off road.

Mr.
Mounted a set on my 1990 Honda Transalp last June. They were a little squirrely when first riding on the blacktop, improved after a bit of wear. EXCELLENT on the trails and back roads. Wet weather riding was a bit of a challenge - but hey, they're knobbies! Dry weather on road riding was adequate, but noisy. I won't mount another set unless I plan on about a year of HEAVY off-road riding. Tires lasted about 4500 miles. Most places advertise these as 90/10 (off/on) and they are correct - n
