Tires DUNLOP or Maxxis
My favorite trail bike combo right now is a DHR2 front and dissector rear but I’m considering switching to rekon rear.
Maxxis Razr ATs. They handle great and served me well in winter driving.
Just got a set of Dunlop Trailmax Missions mounted on my 800 XCa and very impressed with them so far. They grip surprisingly well on the road and handle gravel and service roads/hard pack dirt roads with ease.
I have D606 on both ends at the moment. Perfectly fine on dry pavement once you trust them.
Tusk Dsport is same tread design as Dunlop 606 but 1/2 the cost. Love mine.
I drove them through 3 winters and did pretty ok. Took them off at 30K because they were screaming around corners every time I turned and it was annoying. They had lost their good traction properties in wet conditions by that time anyways.
DHRs are grippy as hell but are not fast rolling. I swapped out for DHF and DHR to see about getting some extra grip and it was an absolute disaster when it came time to pedal. Ended up leaving the DHF on but putting the DHR back on the rear. I feel like it was a good compromise.
The dunlop d214 is not great. Look at the dunlop roadsmart 3 or 4.
Dunlops are my least favorite tires. They suck and gpr300’s, which you have, are cheap even for Dunlops.
Overall experience with the stock tires was great at first then after 4-5 months I couldn’t bear them. They did alright in the snow and ice but i was also super careful and it doesn’t snow bad where I live.
