Hello All,
My rear tire is looking pretty thin on my 02 KLR. Riding consists of
nearly no off-road, but still want to be able to handle a dirt road
when the occasion presents itself. Have been looking at the Dunlop
604 (mainly because it is the cheapest I have found still having the
street oriented tread...been outta work since Jan. funds are a little
tight) Primary concern is mileage, don't want another tire that is
shot at 4k miles if I can avoid it.
Thanks in advance

I picked up a pair of 604's this spring in order to make my KLR
more street oriented. I have been very happy with the switch.
They have very good road grip, and provide much less rolling
resistance than knobs. They do make stopping a little easier on
the road also. They are not dirt tires as you can guess, but they
do handle an occasional dirt road and get you where you need to
go, but you do have to be cautious not to horse around to much
in the soft stuff.
Hope this helps you out.

I put a rear D604 on a couple of years ago, and took it off after a couple
of thousand miles. It was very little worn, due to the hard rubber
compound. I took it off because it had poor traction on the street, no
doubt also due to the hard rubber.

torques are for the cover?
