Tires DUNLOP or Cooper
My last rear was a d606 and now I’m running the tusk d-sport. I know it’s probably blasphemy on here but I like it better than the d606
The D606 is a beast and will last a very long time with both dirt and pavement use.
Dunlop American elite are good, I had them on my 500+ lb honda Cx. I currently have Michelin commander 2s on my honda 650.
72k miles riding year round and like the Dunlop, after trying different manufacturers. I now use the American made Dunlop Elite, but also liked the original one because they wouldn't break loose in winter.
CO driver, have about 500mi on a set of Cooper Road and Trails, very happy so far
One of the best tires on a Harley. Have had a problem in the past with 1 tire that was fitted on front for customer, but overall, really outstanding tire. The factory tires are also made by Dunlop, but the typical lifespan is around 3/4 of a Elite at best.
As someone who was a parts manager at a dealership and worked with these tires. The Pro control would be your best option. Second would be the Endevors. These two are good for warm weather and wet driving, If you live where it snows they would be ok for Light snow ( packed snow and ice they wont work).
It was ok up to about 35000 miles. After that, They dangerously hydroplane like crazy. But those first 30000, I really didn’t have much issues.
Yeah I got like 10k MAYBE. The stock dunlops suck. And frankly I hate that brand.
I got 10k out of mine before they were getting dangerous.
