Looking for a decent all around rear tire for my Honda XR650L . I ride about 50% on-50% off road with it .The stock Bridgestone trailwings wear ok on the road but are down right scary off-road. thanks |

I use a Dunlop D606 on my DR650. It is something like 80 dirt 20 street so it has fairly big knobbies on it. After a couple thousand miles with a good amount of that on pavement, it still has a lot of tread left. I don't ride much over 55 though, the front starts getting squirly. |

I am with Mike,just put the 606's on my DR650 and like them so far.Handle well on the street and a suprisingly good ride on freeway. Going to put em to the test in about 10 days on the Dirty Bastards ride. |

I have 606s on my DRZ400S. Good choice for a 50/50 tire. Kinda noisy at higher speeds on the street. Front washes out a bit in the dirt. I've read the 606 rear with MT21 front is a good combo. Seem to be wearing well with 1000 mostly street (getting to/from dirt) miles. |

Same here. I have the D606 on my XR650L. Gives a fairly decent ride at highway speeds and has plenty of grip for all but the muddiest of trails. |
