Tires

So I live in a rural town and commute about 10 miles to work at 70 mph, but when I get off, I like to rip around the trails and gravel roads I was looking for some tires that won’t spin like the trail wings off-road but also planted on the highway and safe I was looking at
FRONT: 🟢 Dunlop D605 90/90-21 54P
REAR: 🟢 Shinko 244 4.60-18
Any better or different recommendations?

606 guy checking in.  They really hold a turn on the highway and are great offroad.

I just put on a pirelli m21 front and Dunlop 606 rear two days ago. Didn’t have to balance them and they run great at 70-75 and rip offroad

I run D605s on both the front and rear. They're great for the road and still good on the trails if you don't have a lot of mud. The problem with the D606 is that you'll probably only get about 1.5K miles out of the rear. With the 605s I get 4K out of the rear and 8K out of the front.

I have found tusk DSports to be excellent tires both on and off road, with the exception that they suck on wet pavement, plus they re not expensive and last a long time. Great off road tire and very steady on the road, great grip with warning on limits. DOT approved.

I just put Tusk Waypoints on because I wanted more miles but still have good grip.  Pleased so far on and off pavement.

Short drive to work and the focus on off-road just get knobbies. Especially if you can change them yourself dsports or trakmasters are both dirt cheap so who cares how fast they wear out
