Tires DUNLOP or KENDA
I’ve got Dunlop Winter Sport 5 195/55 R16 87H and they’re great. Consumption, noise and grip all well balanced.
I have dunlop mutants on my husaberg supermoto. I love them but the sides tear up pretty quickly under hard use. They're nice and sticky though!
I just wanted to share my opinion of the Dunlop Mutants after about 3000km of fixed use (highway touring, mountain twists, commuting, and fire/gravel/cottage roads in wet/dry/cold conditions. The tires are brilliant and my new favourite road tire.
I've been running the Kenda Kruz on my Wide Glide for a few years now, I'm very happy with them! Great rain tire and I get more miles out of them then Dunlop tires.
But I’m a major fan of American elite 4’s. They came on the new bike and I’ve put 10k on them in the last 3 months and they haven’t aged a bit.
They are ok tires. In the summer, when it's hot and dry, they do pretty ok. As soon as temps get close to freezing they get super hard and it's like driving on plastic rc tires. At least, that's been my experience with them.
Holy Rollers (in 26" at least) have pretty thin sidewalls and I've gone through a couple due to punctures, but have had good results with the Kenda small block as a rear tire
Dang, I got the craptastic Dunlops on my '21 R4PSE, but we're only at 21k miles. Sad to see somebody got 45k miles on a set. Dang, I hate to replace them prematurely, so that means I have to endure another 2 years of squeaky skittish tires.
Looking at the Dunlops, they are rated poorly in pretty much every review I saw. They only have a treadwear rating of 360 which is pretty low for an all season crossover tire which explains why they're cooked at 20k miles. Most reviews I see are people complaining about them wearing out at 20-30k miles and being terrible in wet/snow.
Can confirm , the dunlops are absolute garbage in the snow. Bought a set of beater oem 16 wrx wheels off of marketplace today and will be slapping on some premium awd snow donut shoes tomorrow, almost hit a curb going five mph leaving a stoplight. They have as much traction in snow , as a puck has on a air hockey table.. prepare to buy tires if you live in a winter challenged climate .
