Any opinions on the dunlop d605
 

Just about the cheapest tire I can find But very worried about the weight of the bike

I used them on my XR250.. rear is great... front kept washing out
at anything above 15psi... i think the weight of the XT660 would
be border line on a Dunlop 605...
If yer after a 50/50 tyre.. have a look at the Shinko 700...
I rode the DB1K last year with them on the XTR... they worked well at
18 psi front / 22 psi rear on dirt & 24 / 28 on seal...
They give a lot of side bite... I noticed it was a lot harder the throttle
steer the rear with the 700 on gravel...


SHINKO 700

Sorry man. what do you mean by wash out? Are the shinko 700 a similar price?

Cant seem to find em in japan?

wash out.... lose grip / side sideways...
The Shinko are a quite a bit cheaper here...

Shinko use to be Yokoharma motor bike tires..

Thanks.
Didn't know the term but I certainly have experienced the feeling many times.

Found them. Nice and cheap. lovely. The width of rear tyre rim size is 3, whereAs the tenere is 2.75. Will it be okay?

see they don't list the Shinko 700..
The 705 are good but more road than dirt 80/20
