Dunlop DOT 2006 K 750 130/80 -17 TT 65S very cheap tyre uk new
 
Hi just ordered one of these from mototyres.co.uk for �32.50 delivered

I was going with the Maxxis but am skint and this has to be my best bargain yet and it looks ok too

this tyre arrived in a few days, when its dry i will get it fitted and do the cush drive mod and hopefully take some snaps and give it a review.

Stridey 11-02-10 00:19

Any news on how they perform?

stuxtttr 11-02-10 16:18

It was a ****** to get the tyre off and a ****** to get the new one fitted i ended up giving in and taking it to a bloke down the road even he struggled with the proper machine.

Just about to get out and try it now while the sun is still out so let you know later but it looks pretty good on. definatly more dual purpose but not as much as a tkc.

Ok ride report I only went for a quick spin to scrub them in probably about 10 miles so no crazy corners yet.

They seem great and when I went to test out an off road section of the fosse they really showed how crap the front tourance is in the mud it just wouldnt grip and i dropped the bike once as I had no control at all.

So yeah very happy with the tyre I just need to find a similar treaded front for hopefully a similarly bargain price.

In a nutshell I like them enough I may get another because at �32.50 delivered I don't think you will find a cheaper true dual purpose tyre.:eusa_clap:

Hi
I tried to find the tyres on the internet on the website you gave but not sure if I am in the right site as cant see them at �32.50?

Please can you check and let us know?
thanks

Stridey, not having any luck myself they appear to have been taken off the site. I did find the same tyre but it is now listed at �72 but when I purchased mine it just showed up I will have another gander but I think I may have just been lucky.

When looking for this tyre I found this nice site with tyre-comparisons:

yeah i am thinking of pairing up with a maxxis on the front at �38 it looks pretty decent value and better in the mud than the stock tyres.

If I'm not mistaken they come stock on the New KLR650's

Ok tyre but only lasted me 3000Km on the KLR.

hope they last longer than that, mine are showing some wear but then they were cheap so if they last 3000 miles I will be happy

well update - my front tourance is on the way out but worse still the rear dunlop is about bald in the centre tread rekon they lasted about 2 - 2.5K Miles so ok but wouldnt bother with again looking for something to replace them with now. needs to be cheap but good any ideas ? would prefer a more knobbly tyre

Have a look at the Swiss (s/be Swedish) Army tyre on the previous thread.

Well rated and very good off road.

Cheers thinking this is the way forwards plus they suit the bike more than slicks :)
