Ive been running the CS 858 rear, looking forward to getting something new. It does pretty good on the slab (handling), so/so off road, no good in mud, IMO. As for wear, depends on how/where you ride, but it the slab is pretty hard on it. I guess that pretty much goes for all *****. I have done a lot of slab riding on this, I'm around 900 miles on it, not a whole lot left. No rim locks, keep the pressure 18 - 20, maybe thats why.

 

after looking into tire reviews more, i think im just going to say screw it and get trackmaster 2's. some people say they wear close to 606's and there half the price. im just suprised i go threw the dunlops so fast, i even run them at 30 lbs all the time.

 

Id recommend the kenda 760s they do pretty well on the street and have excellent traction in the dirt/mud/gravel.

 

i ran Tk II's. i got around 1200 out of a rear versus almost 3000 with the 606. i ride aggressively in the dirt with some pavement also. probably 70% street 30% dirt. while the TK's hooked up awesome in the dirt, to go through a rear in 1200 miles is unacceptable. i just mounted a new set of 606's last week.

edit: 30 lbs is way to much. try 20.

 

All the guys I ride with are running Kenda Trakmaster IIs and they do seem to be a great dirt/mud/gravel tire. Pretty good on pavement, and DOT to boot. I'm running an MT16 and I love it (GREAT hook-up offroad), but at twice the price of the Kendas I'm not sure it's THAT much better! I just did a group order for me and my group on Rockymountainatvmc.com and got a great price on the Kendas:
120/110/18 - $44.99
80/100/21 - $37.79

That price reflects their 10% off with the purchase of 2 or more tires. I also got free shipping ($99 order) and they have discount codes for $10 off going up to $100 off for spending anywhere from $100 to $500.

 

I like the Dunlop 606 up in the Rocks, Ruts and Roots.
And yup, 30 is to much, drop it to around 20, should get more bite.

 

its not really bite im worryed about, its more the wear. i went to the mx track for the first time today, the 606 cloged up so quick it wasnt funny. once there was a clean line it did better but still wasnt good. hoping the trackmasters are better in some way atleast.
