Hello everyone. What kind of dual sport tires are you running now a days? I bought my TE449 in January and it has Maxxis Desert IT tires on it. Great grip off road but they’re not for road use, already started losing the side knobbies. I ride 95% dirt, only street is about 5 miles round trip to get to some trails down the street. I’d love a DOT tire that performs like the Maxxis but won’t break apart on the asphalt. From what I’ve read the Dunlop 606, Michelin AC10 and Kenda Trakmaster II seem to fit the bill. Any experience with these?
Depends on the application, but the Trackmaster holds up really well and works good in the sand. If you're mostly off road it's a great tire.
Have you looked at Golden? They have several great options and almost all of them are DOT approved. There is a great local supplier up on Apple Valley that is a great guy to work with. If you want I can connect you with him, in the meantime, check these out. https://www.goldentyrewest.com/enduro-offroad
