Need a new dirt focused rear tyre as the Kenda 760 has MAJOR wear after only a few 100 road k's. Looking at a Dunlop 606, but thought the 605 might last a bit long if I can get it in. 17". Anyone tried these bad boys?

[Phreaky Phil]

Mitas E09, Michelin T63, Pirelli MT21 & Dunlop 606 are all good dirt focus tyres. The Dunlop 605 and others arent really dirt focus.( ready for the onslaught, ive taken mine here & there with bla bla tire ) BUT if its wet they arent too good. Gravel road tyres IMO.

What do you people do to your tyres?

My 760 rear isn't down to half yet and has done a thousand km or so...

The last 760 I ran, which was a few years back on my !st DR650 did 2500km in the Sth Isl and still had some left. Ive got 1 on at the moment that I used for our Liquifaction ride, but I mite take it off and save it for later.

Mine is on my dirt wheelset but may last for some time now the TT350 is being used for the dirtier riding...

MrsJ's done somewhere in the region of 15000k's on the 350 and she's about 3/4 way through her 2nd 760

Mind you I'd only get about 2500k's on the 750 before they were next to useless
