Dunlop designed the D606 tire to be street-legal but with an emphasis on aggressive off-road riding and great durability. A full-depth tread pattern designed for rigorous off-road use yields excellent traction on everything from hard-packed fire roads to soft single-track trails. At the same time, the D606s tread compound is engineered for good highway durability and grip. D606F front tire matches with D739 A/T rear for desert riders.

I bought this tire based on reviews and my previous experience with Dunlop tires (on my cars).I received the tire and mounted it with ease. That was just over 2500 miles ago, with about half of those miles on gravel or dirt. While I did like the performance in dirt, I have to say I have been extremely disappointed in the overall performance of the tire. The tire is on the back of a Kawasaki KLR 650 (appx. 450 lb) and I weigh 200. Total weight as I go down the road is about 700 with full fuel.I knew I was in trouble after the first 200 mile ride when there was visible wear of the tire. Each subsequent ride has just disappointed me further, always with a visible reduction in tread. No ride was greater than 250 miles. Now with only about 2500 miles, the tire is down ... MoreI bought this tire based on reviews and my previous experience with Dunlop tires (on my cars).I received the tire and mounted it with ease.

Now with only about 2500 miles, the tire is down enough that I am afraid to take the bike off road for fear of mud or gravel of any consequence.I know other riders with different brand ( only 2/3 the price ) tires on their KLR that show nearly no visible wear after over 3000 miles of street riding exclusively!I couldn't be more surprised nor disappointed in this Dunlop. They really let me down. I can't rate the tread life low enough.

Used for 900 miles on my 2018 Honda CRF250RL so far, about 50\50 offroad\onroad. They've seen blacktop, packed rock, loose rock, gravel, silt, sand, large rocks, rain, and mud as deep as the rear axle.At 19psi the tire does well on blacktop but is bouncing and not hooking up when on dirt or rock of any kind. At 16psi it did well on gravel/dirt roads (25-40mph) and packed rocks but still bounced and bucked when on loose rock or large rocks. Also managed to claw its way out of the axle-deep mud once I got off the pegs and let it chew along without my added weight.This is definitely an offroad tire, as you should already know by Dunlop's claims. It works on the road - never had any sliding even when exceeding the speed limit in rain on blacktop hairpins like an ... MoreUsed for 900 miles on my 2018 Honda CRF250RL so far, about 50\50 offroad\onroad.

It works on the road - never had any sliding even when exceeding the speed limit in rain on blacktop hairpins like an idiot. The only times it did feel squirrelly was in deep silt/sand; even in loose rock on very steep trails it just kept driving forward. Obviously you need to lean back a bit to help it dig in, but it did great.

WR250R, front and rear. I just got 3500 miles out of a set doing the NEBDR and MABDR, so about half dirt and half highway. Off road they're fantastic. Pack, gravel, grass, mud, rocks, sand, everything. Their biggest weakness is traction on rock (especially wet rock) due to the fairly hard compound. As you may have heard, the front does tend to wash a bit if you go into a turn too hot. Side note - I've also had the Pirelli MT21 on the front and it was dead before 1000 miles and scalloped horribly towards the end. On pavement the D606 magically allows you to drag your toes, which gets them a 6 star rating in my book. They've seen maybe twelve hours in the rain (pavement), and they do fine. You can still go faster than cars, but obviously dial it back a few notches.

I bought my XR650R very well used; (ridden hard/put away wet) and it came with completely worn out Dunlop D606 Front and Rear. Since then I've done a lot to restore its performance; and one thing I've noticed is that the original owner had really put all the right equipment on to begin with. These D606's are no exception. All my riding requires asphalt to get to the dirt. I've ridden in Baja, Arizona, Oregon, Utah, and all over my home State of Western Washington and the Cascade Mountains. I run them at 15psi and they seem to be great all around. I wish they'd last longer but then they wouldn't be as good offroad. I dont always like to park my van with all my belongings at the trailhead of some remote area to go for a rip. So like I said, Asphalt is my friend too. ... MoreI bought my XR650R very well used; (ridden hard/put away wet) and it came with completely worn out Dunlop D606 Front and Rear.

I dont always like to park my van with all my belongings at the trailhead of some remote area to go for a rip. So like I said, Asphalt is my friend too. When I finally get to the dirt road, and then of course hopefully onto at least some challenging technical terrain, these D606's have handled it all. The tires are better than the rider...lol... I'd give it 5 stars for handling, wear, etc...but you can't have it all. I had one front flat in the Arizona desert this Spring. I wanted to blame it on a cactus but as it turned out it was my own fault for pinching the tube on installation. I replaced the tube with a Michelin Ultra Heavy Duty this time...I've found that the extra weight is better than a pinch flat and I don't even notice the weight. I for sure would reccomend the Dunlop D606 for the best all round 50/50 Dual Sport type tire. No doubt!-m-2001 HONDA XR650R--
I Cannot be happier with these tires.Had these installed on 22'KLR 650 And not only did the bike look Super Badass these tires are chew masters in the dirt,grass/ mud and on the higway i can rip NO problem full speed threw the corners and all; NOT a worry. As for wet pavement i didnt have an issue, obviously wasnt givin'r in the rainAlso i have put approx 2000km on these tires and have about half like left...This KLR combo'd with the Dunlop 606 well worth the price, and Sure save you from a spill. These tires are awesome transition from the paved to the gravel and mud!WILL Be ordering another set!Thank you Kindly,TRUE NORTH STRONG & FREEDallas R - Turner Valley
I bought these for an annual back-country excursion. In years past, I have used my 70-30 or even 80-20 (if they were new) tires, so naturally I was impressed with a more aggressive tire. We encountered sharp shale (range from small to 12" blocks), smooth river rock, coarse sharp granite, mud & deep water, lots of gravel, and some sand. It handled all well, and gave good grip in all conditions. Altogether we rode about 800km, and I will get one more such trip out of these tires. The photo shows the rear tire after the trip. Leading edge of the centre lug is rounded, and the lug depth is noticeably reduced. My brother was riding Metzeler MC360 Mid Soft on his Husqvarna 630, and his tires were completely destroyed by the trip.
4 stars because it does exactly what you expect it to do. I used to goof around with moto tires on my EXC 500 dual sport, Carcasses were too soft and knobbies too tall for road sections. Finally switched to a 606 front and it was good in the dirt and spectacular on the road sections and high speed gravel/fire road sections. Good stiff carcass, confidence inspiring on road. Certainly a compromise in the sand, but with the weight up front with my oversize tank and GPS, it is the best DS yet. Tested in Warner Valley/ Toquerville UT. St. George area.-m-2013 KTM 500 EXC--
D606 is a game changer for me. Loves the dirt. Runs the ruts. Holds on turns. Stable on pavement. Swapped out perfectly good OE tires that couldn't hold off road. Instantly made for a better and more confident ride. I can't recommend buying these tires for a DR650 enough.
Running the D606 Front on a Tenere 700, with Motoz Tractionator on rear. Hard-medium terrain typical of Eastern Ontario: limestone and granite rock, roots, babyheads, clay, rounded gravel, sand, mud, deep puddles, and crushed-stone gravel roads. Have run the D606 rear for years on my WR250R and consider it one of the best rear tire options for that bike, normally paired with MT-21 front. But the MT-21 wears fast, so figured the D606 front would serve a little better on the heavier Tenere. Previously ran the Scorpion Rally STR (excellent gravel tire) but wanted more bite for the muddy trails. Enter the D606 front with its more aggressive knobs. It grips well in straight line, but I find it wanders a bit disconcertingly on loose gravel roads compared to the STR. ... MoreRunning the D606 Front on a Tenere 700, with Motoz Tractionator on rear.

Previously ran the Scorpion Rally STR (excellent gravel tire) but wanted more bite for the muddy trails. Enter the D606 front with its more aggressive knobs. It grips well in straight line, but I find it wanders a bit disconcertingly on loose gravel roads compared to the STR. Cornering grip feels more unpredictable—I’m sure it’s there, just don’t know when it’ll break loose at speed, so my cornering is less confident as a result. Braking and control in sand is good, handles wet ruts well—tracks reasonably straight with light bar input. Experimented with pressures 22-29 psi (running tubes, so don’t tend to go lower or pinch flats are a risk), find that about 25psi is reasonable compromise for paved/dirt. Street handling is good for a knobby although I haven’t pushed it hard or above 120km/hr because I’d like to keep the knobs in decent shape for a while longer. Overall I’d probably try something else before replacing with same, but depending on availability of options I wouldn’t hesitate to buy the D606 front again.
bought a 130/80-17 for my 91 bmw r100gspd. just rode a 3000 mile trip from northern CA to montana and back. tire did great. it was really hot when i left and at one point i had to stop for road construction and checked the hot tire pressure. it was almost 10pounds higher. tire never felt bad. after i got home the tire is pretty close to done. both me and my bike are kinda heavy and i was loaded with gear. the sidewalls are heavy duty. be careful about pressure because all the other tires ive had on this bike have a max rating of 41psi but this one was 36. i got lucky and decided to inflate to 36 cold. i ended up letting it down to 34 and still felt fine. only thing i didnt like was the fact this tire is pretty high peaked. meaning the middle wore out faster than ... Morebought a 130/80-17 for my 91 bmw r100gspd. just rode a 3000 mile trip from northern CA to montana and back. tire did great. it was really hot when i left and at one point i had to stop for road construction and checked the hot tire pressure. it was almost 10pounds higher. tire never felt bad. after i got home the tire is pretty close to done. both me and my bike are kinda heavy and i was loaded with gear. the sidewalls are heavy duty. be careful about pressure because all the other tires ive had on this bike have a max rating of 41psi but this one was 36. i got lucky and decided to inflate to 36 cold. i ended up letting it down to 34 and still felt fine. only thing i didnt like was the fact this tire is pretty high peaked. meaning the middle wore out faster than other tires ive had. for the price you cant beat it.
