The D606 is not a street tire, it s one of the most aggressive DOT-legal knobbies in the market. But many of us have many thousands of miles of street use on D606s. They do last well for a knobbie (3500 miles out of a rear, maybe 5K from a front) and will corner quite well once you get used to the slightly squirmy feel when your lean angle puts the bike onto the outermost knobs (which are about the width of the other knobs). I run them at 32PSI on the front and 35PSI on the rear for street use, dropping as low as 10 PSI offroad depending on load (usually don t get below 15 PSI). D606s are noisy in use on the highway, especially once the front knobs develop some braking-induced, ramp-shaped wear. Once this wear has become obvious the front will howl at highway speed when going straight. Crank in just a bit of lean and the howl goes away. Or adopt as mantra loud tires save lives and learn to live with the sound I ve been running a D606 rear with a TKC80 front lately and like that combination since the front TKC80 does not produce the howling noise and the front TKC80 lasts me longer than a D606. I had preferred TKC80s front and rear until the discovered the D606 rear outlasts the TKC rear in my type of riding.

For those of you who have used the Dunlop D606, I have a question, please; "How good are the D606 on the highway?" One review says that, "the D606's tread compound is engineered for good highway durability and grip".......... seems like it would be like riding on a zipper at highway speeds (ie, it would shake you to death?). I do like what one of our fellow posters pointed out, that is, that you can ride them even when they go flat. So, to those of you who have used D606 tires, what are they like on the highway? BTW, I use my KLR as a street/highway daily rider. Thats why I want the feel of a street tire. Eddie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
