5.0 out of 5 stars Smiling Bob-style confidence, July 31, 2009

It's official, thumpers. You can count me among the legions of fans of the Dunlop D606. A 60/40 on/off kind of guy, I'm a week into a new pair and more impressed by the muddy mile. From the start, I was thrilled at how well these suckers do on pavement. Leaning into a turn is no problem -in fact you can still have a blast on those twisty roads to nowhere. Speed does not bring about any unexpected behavior at all. The howl of the knobs is there but it's not nearly as dramatic as some sensitive types have made it out to be. It's sort of a low moan, like a kid trying to mimic the sound of a cartoon ghost. I got used to it within days and barely notice it anymore. When I do notice, I consider it my Suzuki DR650 expressing glee over the landscape upon which we're riding: "Oooooooooh..."
Off road, the 606 is absolutely confidence inspiring, especially in mucky stuff. The Dunlops are not afraid of mud, I like to say. Mud is afraid of the Dunlops. These things will climb a hill no matter how many rocks, roots or stumps try to keep you down. They're absolutely phenomenal going through long, lake-esque puddles and washouts. I was so used to slipping and bogging down with the stock Trailwings, these Dunlops make it feel like flying.
I believe it's true that there is a certain break-in period with these. Some have suggested the 606's get really hooked up after 500 miles. For me, it was more like 100-200 miles when I began to lose the white knuckles and gain the kind of confidence that would make Smiling Bob happy.
When I first got the tires, they were inflated to 20 psi both front and back. I since lowered that to 18 on both ends and find it a nice spot to handle road and off road without having to monkey with pressure every time you go from one or the other. I've heard of some folks going as low as 12 lbs and as high as 30. With my 175 lb. physique, 18 works really well.
I got the wider tire for the rear and it seems to take a real toll on pavement braking. I can't say for certain that it has anything to do with the Dunlops, but I really have to stomp on the rear brake while the front brake is super sensitive. No negative effects on riding, just something to get used to.
Absolutely great tires that won't feel like a compromise if you mix up street and off road. I researched the hell of tires for my ride and now see why so many people rave about the Dunlop 606.

These are good for gripping in rough terrain. They are a bit noisier than I thought they would be but it is fine for how much control I have in the pastures.

Switching from Anakees to these make a huge difference! No more getting squirmy in the soft stuff. No more getting stuck in sugar sand. Not too wiggly on the road, though nothing so far can beat the Anakees in wet road conditions, the trade off is well worth it if you're getting off paved surfaces with any frequency. Good purchase.
