Tires DUNLOP or NANKANG
Used up two sets on my Xr650l and love them. A bit noisy on the pavement but great off-road
D606 are really good for the street. I had them on my drz400 and the street cornering grip was amazing. I could hang with any other bike on the tight roads. They're not going to like high speed over 65mph. No complaints on the wear.
Both have with equal and even wear Tread depth a heavy 5/32” No plugs or bubbles If I could have found a used pair of these, I wouldn’t be selling this pair.
I got away with 30,000 miles before needing a new set of tires. Never had any issues with grip in rain and dry conditions, and I always rotated every 6k miles. They turn into hockey pucks below 40 F and are horrible in snow though
I rode them on a friends t7. I really liked them, from my impression they really deliver on that "50/50"-saying of Dunlop. They have a very stiff sidewall which helps with punctures (compared to let's say a anakee wild).
I have Nakang NS2 in the front of my Alfa Romeo Brera. The Brera demands a lof of from front tires, they wear pretty well and have pretty decent grip (not great).
The thing is, you may like or not like, they have a soft construction. So you are more on the confortable side, but roll a bit more on corners and give you less steering feedback than a better tire like Michelin PSS.
My buddy has them on the rears of his FBO 335i right now. They're not terrible for basic to spirited street driving. They can't handle any power at all though.
I'm on ZII's on my "street wheels" and while they're fine for around town, I've never liked them from a performance perspective. Compared to the purpose built 200TW cheater tires (e.g. RE71R, RT660, RS4) the ZII's give up a LOT of grip and probably seconds per lap at a racetrack.
They did ok on the track for a summer tire (240tw) but I think next season I'm going with something else. For the life of me I could not corner in these
I got my WRX in March, near the end of the winter season. It snowed heavily one day, and I got stuck trying to go up my driveway because I only had the stock Dunlops. AWD was no replacement for winter tires.
