    Only got 500 miles out of my stock rear tire on te449. Is there any tire that last longer and performs well in dirt? I ride 80% dirt

    You might look at the Dunlop D606, Mefo Explorer or Heidenau K60 Scout (but it's *heavy*). Trouble is that you asked for "performs well" and "lasts longer" which are typically opposite qualities in an 80+% dirt tire...

    If you were riding rocks and hard gravel 500 miles or 900 kms is not bad wear and rear.
    I figure about 3-4 rides-best not to get below last 20/25% of tread as you will not be too good in sand or mud.

    I have a 606 with over 1000 miles on it. Great compromise tire if you just ride a little bit of tarmac. I swapped out out for a pure dirt tire for racing but kept it for future dual sport use.

    I was running a set of motoz on my te449 i really liked it and it preformed well in all conditions. The set had about 1000 miles on it about 600 700 of that are road and still had life on them. I have a new set waiting to go on the 501 when the stock ones are done.

    Agreed on the 606. Great tyre but on the heavy side.

    The Moto Z's are very nice. I'm running the S/T Enduro rear (130/90/18) on my Berg 570 and love it. The Desert HT is also good and probably more durable.

    Out here in the dry rocky desert southwest a lot of us run a Maxxis Maxxcross Desert-IT on the rear. It's not the greatest but it wears pretty well.

    is the motoz desert tractionator in 140 too big for a TE310R? I'm also considering the scorpion pro in 140. I didn't like the maxxis desert ITs.
