Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP
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.
i love my Michelin Defender 2, they aren't the sportiest of tires, but darn are they great GT tires (decent economy) and have decent tread for dirt roads. Only down side is that tread does have the tendency to grab on to the smaller rocks that jettison off later down the road once you hit black top.
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.
Michelin pilot road 6; you won't regret it.
I have the factory Michellin E. Primacy on my highland RWD and quite impressed. A good all round balance of wet and dry grip and efficiency. Not too far off the PS5 I had on my old car but I wouldn't track with them. Good enough to have confidence on the road though.
I have them on my model 3. I think they are a tad quieter but small efficiency loss noticed. I mean minuscule. Have about 1200mi on them but enjoy it so far.
I recently put them on my model 3 and I am happy so far. Seems comparable to michelin mxm4 oems on noise. There is more tread so they should last longer and my calibrated butt dyno suggests a bit more grip.
Small penalty on range, but it’s close enough where i’m not totally sure yet.
My original tires were cracked from being in the sun and not moving for a year or two, so the dealer replaced them with exactly the same tire and it went under the 12/12 warranty, so I need to go through those tires before I buy my own. Man, are they greasy in the wet!
About 105k miles. Got rid of them because the tires were beginning to get really bad dry rot. Still had a ton of tread left.
