Default What tires are y'all running?

I'm on my original front and a replacement rear Dunlop D605 right now, but replacements for both will be needed soon. Was curious to what everybody is running and what the usage is street versus off-road and how you like them.

I have the 2009 SM version, but with both sets of wheels. The IRC SM tires were actually pretty good! I have Bridgestones on it now for SuperMoto.

For off road, I still have the original D605 set also. They're pretty great.

The CRF250 has a new D605 rear paired with the stock IRC front and it feels just fine. I notice only a slight difference with teh better D605 front on the KLX, but the bikes are pretty different, so it could be anything.

I have a new set of D606 going on the Rally once I wear out the first front and rear between them. I'm told that they're excellent off road, less so on road.

Looking forward to hearing what others have done. I think there's a preferred Dunnlop rear/Pirelli front combo.

Yup, D606 rear with MT21 front is really common.

What does your off-road look like? Dusty and dry, or muddy, or ?

I did the MT21 front and D606 rear. Good in the dirt, I don't think I would go with the D606 again. Probably better tires out there for northeast trail riding. It is good in dry hard, but not as much in mud and slick woods conditions. Maybe it is just me. Not sure what to try next. I did mostly trail riding. The stockers are definitely not good for anything but dirt roads or pavement.
