Tires DUNLOP or OEM Toyota
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 love the trail max missions on my GS. They last well too, at 9k miles right now.
Just ran the Dunlop's for a week on dirt and found them to be vastly better than the STRs. There was no perceivable compromise on the road either. The Dunlop has stiff sidewalls and can be aired down to even 18 psi (which I did for some gnarly single track).
I got about 22,000 miles out of them. I never had any problems with grip, but they did wear out fast.
guys at the tire shop i go to said that you get good value for money with dunlop tires. they’re high quality but cost less than bridgestone or michelin. i’ve not noticed much of a difference so far as compared to michelin.
Which slick do you have exactly? I ran the d212 medium and endurance. Absolutely hated them. The medium got destroyed in one day. Started losing grip after 3 sessions already. Then I tried the endurance compound, but it also lasted only 2 days and kept losing grip. Apparently they are very sensitive to pressure, temperature and shock settings.
I put a Dunlop slick rear on recently and had a ton of trouble with it. It needs a ton of heat in order to grip but I never developed any trust in it and it has the worst traction of any tire I've used.
My Dunlops were noisy and slippery (when wet) when they were brand new and then got obnoxiously loud after 20k miles, i finally got rid of them around 25k miles and switched to Continentals.
