Good dirt tire
Put 17" on KLR250 before challenging trail event (mud, rocks) and went everywhere pretty well. I think it may be wearing relatively quickly on the street. No sign of chunking, but KLR250 is not a torque monster. Good value for 90%/10% dirt/street use.

Enjoyed
I have really enjoyed this tire. It has got me everywhere no problems in the southern Oregon hills and streets. I have 2400miles on my front and rear. I quit going off road at about 1800miles, the season ended due to dryness. I have gotten my money’s worth. It spins easy on take off when new.

Pretty Good
I ride about 30 miles of tarmac to get to the trails. The tire doesn't wear too bad on the street and works very well in the deep sand

Good so far
I put this tire on my KLX300R to make it street legal and it worked for that. Then I went to the San Juan mountains outside Ouray, Colorado and beat the snot out of it for 3 days on very hard rock surfaces over about 150 miles. I weigh about 200 lbs and my bike is geared down so in 6th gear it tops out at about 45mph. Sounds extreme but then it will climb any hill in first gear, and these tires worked well, as good or better than the Dunlop 756 I had on before. I had a couple of chipped knobs on the rear tire but they are mostly intact, just some wear on the front side of the knobs. Front tire shows almost no wear at all, still has the pattern on the knobs. For $100 a pair I am extremely pleased with this purchase. They also seem to run OK on the road, but I don't go fast or far, maybe 5 miles max when I have to on pavement. In any case I will buy again.

good on dirt but not on pavement
These tires are good for all off road. But the pavement eats these tires up like candy. Should be all off road not street.

This tire kicks!
Have ridden it hard for 3 long rides through all kinds of rocky rough terrain and it shows minor wear. Great hook up in the rocky dry dirt. I have not ridden it much on the road, so I don't know how it works on the highway. I'm a 95/5 dirt dual sporter so I don't ride much on slabs

nice knobby
I really like this tire, doing a wheelie in the dirt is easy with this tire. At high speeds, on the road it also grabs very well, it seems like my 650xrl loves it too.

Bad ass tires
I've had these tires for a little over a month now and have been very impressed with the traction in the dirt and street.

Night and Day!
I ride a 08' WR250R. I ride it back and forth to work and off-road every weekend. This tire handles great on the highway. As far as off-road its like night and day compared to my stock tires. I can ride the way I want without worrying about the bike breaking loose. Cuts through the mud/sand like no other. I got my money’s worth for sure.

Great tires
this tire hooks really good. Notice right off a lot more easy to wheelie. Ripp’in in and out of corners with more confidence now that the stock tire gone. DR Z400S

Great Tire
Great tire, unmatchable traction in mud, dirt, grass, gravel and lasted me about 2 months even while road riding.

Best DOT Knobby??
I used the MT21 for many years with good results. I tried these K760s a few years ago and have been very happy. They look like a sand-mud tire but hold up rather well even in rough rocky hard terrain. Street riding is fairly good too, even w/out weights they always seem to be rather balanced unlike the S12s I run from time to time. The front tire looks just like the back, kind of strange but it works good too.

Kenda - K760 Trakmaster II Rear Tire
Cheap tire, but performs extremely well in loose dirt and mud. Good sacrificial tire for duel sport bikes the still do a lot of street time. Cheap enough to wear out and just buy another. Good 4000 mile tire, I'll buy again.

great dot tire
Works great on the rear of my XL600R. Putting power to the ground, excellent. Cornering, very good. Street use marginal. This is an excellent buy. Don't know about durability yet, but I would buy again, even if I might half to replace frequently?

Awesome DOT knobbie
This tire is stable on the street, and awesome off-road. It will tractor through anything buy really gummy mud (like clay). I run this on the back of my KLR650, and I would definitely buy again. I am not sure how long they will last on the street, but no knobby really offers long wear on the street. This DOT knobby did as well as a buddy's Maxxis non-DOT knobby on his dirt bike. I love my Kendas...

Traction!
Pulls hard even in sugar sand! A little loose on pavement but predictable. Haven’t had it long enough to tell how it will wear

Kenda Trakmaster Great Value
It feels great in our Northwestern muddy trails, ruts, and even the steeper sections with roots and rocks. Durability is to be determined. I get into a rutted mud puddle with unknown depth, just punch it and easily clamber out of the mud. I got an amazing 8,000 miles on the MT21, but it was real naked by the time I swapped. If the Trakmaster gives me 3,000 miles, it will be a good value for the price. Fit was another matter. The closest size is 130/90-17, which is a little wide. It fits into the swing arm fine, but rubbed on the muffler until I shimmed the muffler out about 3/4". If it wears well, the next tire will be another Trakmaster

Great tire at a budget price
Although the prices have been creeping up on these tires, I have been using them for years on all of my Dual Sport bikes. They grip as well as any tire in the dirt and wear very well. They slide very controllably on pavement and leave big black Tiger Stripes in the corners. No chunking, tearing, or puncturing has been experienced.

Best Dualsport Tire for the Money!
If you ride mostly off road but need a DOT approved tire, this is the one. I just wish they made it a wider one in a 140 size.

Dual Sport Motorcycle Tire
I'm on the fourth rear K760 Trakmaster II. I've run this tire numerous times on the rocky terrain of the North Carolina Mountains and they grip well and hold up without any chunking. I use these tires mostly here in Florida in both sandy and swampy conditions and the traction is fine. I'm sure there are better tires out there but for the price you can't beat this tire for on and off road use.

Well made tire
Seems like an excellent tire and I will put it to the test. I'll comment again if there are any issues down the road; otherwise they're great tires.
