Just bought new dream machine and as a part of deal they gave me set of these tires, first have to wear out OEMs but then should be blast.... keep up good work, cheers V!
Thx for the review and your impressions. I bought one for the fron of DL650 (110/80R19) also based on this review. So far approx 1000km and they are almost as good on tarmac as my previous TKC70 and much better offroad. However, I have to point one thing - they need like 100km to scrub the slick layer. It scared a sh*t out of me during the first few kilometers and I was almost rethinking my choices - I had a feeling of loosing the front in almost every corner. I haven't had this feeling w. new TKC70. But after like 100kms the "run-away" feeling disappeared and the rubber holds just fine.
The inset video at 1:35 made me chuckle, but I don’t know how else you could have described it 😆. Count me as one who enjoyed this format of review 👍! Keep them coming 😃!
Great video thanks for the update as I did purchase a set after your last video so interesting to see as I will be doing some touring in Europe this year 2024
Just put a set on my Tiger 1200 yesterday. Hope they perform as well on a slightly heavier bike. Started scrubbing them in yesterday and they are quieter than I expected. Take care!
I've got these fitted on my Tiger Rally Pro which does a bit of easy off road, nothing in the real mud. Like you, I ride in the south east of England, and these tyres cannot cope with clay at my skill level. Better rides would get more out of them but a mud slick is a great talent leveller. I am just putting a set on my 701 for which I have 2 sets of wheels. I like using 50/50 tyres in the summer as they are a bit unpredictable and make summer green lane riding in the dry a bit more challenging. In the wet and mud my 701 is on Michelin Trackers but I'd choose these Dunlops for a big, dry trip or for a trip like the Nordic TET which is 95% gravel or tarmac. I wasted a set of Anakee Wilds on the Nordic TET. These would have been a lot more pleasant and long lasting.
I have the MIssions on my Tiger 900RP...and my next ones will be the Raids. I'm going from San Diego, ,down to La Paz, Baja and back soon. Probably will keep the MIssions on and then go to the Raids later.
Excellent review Tony, like the format too. I pretty much agree with everything you said, my regular riding is the grey lanes of West Sussex and Hampshire, and my regular trips to Ireland, they are a fab tyre for this. Great in the wet too..i actually like riding in the rain and have total confidence in the Raid's. One surface they don't like, and i don't like and NO tyre likes is wet chalk!!, which you come across here in the South Downs...cheers Steve
I appreciate the review. I've seen one other long(ish) term review, at 8000 miles. He had a KTM 890 and the Raids were at the fail profile height point. Right down to the wear bars. His use was nearly all off paved roads. I wanted something a bit more aggressive that the Mission's I was running. I have to ride quite a way on highway to get to the trails I want to ride. The Missions sux in deep sand/deep mud. You have to get going too fast before mud casts off. The Raids should clear better, with the bigger spaces, but I was glad to hear they were alright on pavement.
Great review thank you. They sound very very similar to the Mitas E07+ in how they perform. Exactly what you were saying about narrow rural lanes, a 50/50 tyre is less of a twisty champ but its great on dirty dodgy surfaces. If you ride in rural areas a lot these would do well by the sounds of it.
I have these same tires on my Africa Twin and I agree with absolutely everything said either! I found them to produce a little more noise than my Karoo but otherwise he is spot on.
@@markworthington1710 1.5k km so far on my T7, they look and feel good as new. These are amazing: just a bit stiff and noisy on the road if you compare with the (also amazing, as far as I’m concerned) STR Rally. Weirdly, noise comes into play after 1k km only. I’m overly cautions on wet road but they feel good and solid.
@@shutupandance thanks for you response on then so far! My super bikes that loud I’m hoping not hoping not to hear the tyres 😂 I have a set of STR’s in the garage to try as well but haven’t put them on yet and they’re too soft to do a 5k mile trip sadly
Thanks for the review. I’ve been running the Missions on my Tiger 900 up here in Idaho. Dry mostly with sections of the 1” gravel that just sucks! I have zero feel from my front tire and it’s not really enjoyable. I’m hoping the Raids will give me a bit more confidence. On the pavement they’re fine. I don’t notice much noise. But being an old man I ride like one and my chicken strips are pretty wide. Thanks again
I concur with your review. These work as well as you would ever need, in all conditions that you would be using a 400 lb adventure bike for. They grip as well as you wou need on road, with a little noise, and made my KTM 790 adv safe off road, especially in slick conditions. Considering it’s not a dirt bike. They clog up in deeper muck, but still pull the bike along. Which is not the conditions I expect to be riding in much anyway.
I’m wanting to swap from the missions too as they’re awful in the wet! How have you found these? Miles covered so far? What bike are they fitted on? :)
This format works well for tyre reviews. I've been working through your various tyre reviews and think I'll opt for Meridians on my 790 Adventure to replace Anakee Adventures which have maybe another 1,000 miles in them.
Hi: I am having a set of Dunlop Trailmax tires put on my 2023 Honda CRF 150 L. I had to order them, not sure what model they will be, but the dealer claims they are "Dunlop D604 Trailmax 50/50". I wore out the original knobby tires in about 4,000 miles. I am almost 70, retired from the U.S.. Now living in Bataan Philippines. I ride mostly on paved mountain roads, very steep, very sharp corners. Sometimes clay based slimy mud on the roads after heavy rains. I do not do much off road trail riding, I mostly keep it on pavement. I was considering a street tire but was advised that a 50/50 is a better way to go. I went with Dunlop, hoping for quality over price. What I really need is good grip on wet pavement where the condition of the road surface is often not very good.
Very good review. Thanks pal. Off to the Alps/Pyrenees next spring (from Somerset) so looking for a tyre good on the road but handy off on the trails of the TET (and some local green lanes). Many thanks, got these for consideration now. Marcus (with a Tiger 800xc) 🙂
What section is the rear tyre, please? They look good. A possibility for my SCR950 when I wear out the originals. The lack of longevity is the only drawback. The Missions sound better for me, perhaps. Good review, Tony and you answered my question at the end. The rear is a 150. Nick
It does appeal as a touring bike, however, the screen adjustment is a problem for me, sometimes you just want to lower the screen as you enter villages etc and then up the screen as you enter nationals etc, it doesn’t have to be electric, a clasp would do it, similar to the on the new Triumph 1200 Explorer for example. I am surprised at Honda to make a basic mistake on a touring bike!
Thanks, pretty good, I don’t have much sandy soil but it coped with Thetford Forest OK. Grass is fine, wet grass is tricky for most tyres. But again if you’re careful these work fine
I have trailamax mission and on wet is really bad rubber, always traction control saves me, abs even in light wet floor is there. for the price a bad rubber
Great 👍 review mate , I’m from Australia and are running the Trailmax Missions , BUT the rear is 11.5 mm depth and front only 8.5mm ( so they wear about the same time ) I ride enduro bikes and ADV , and have been for some years in Australian bush , desert and high Country. So I have developed a tyre choice for my Enduro/ Dual /sport , So D606 rear and Pirelli M21 rallycross front “ after years of using Motoz , Golden-tyres, and others ( the Dunlop last also as long and half the price( and traction in ALL conditions are very similar. And M21 is a freak of nature and does everything fantastic ( in my opinion ) and last at least twice as long . Anyway on my Big ADV I’m going to Try the Trailmax raid front . As it looks like will fulfil my requirements as lasting twice as long as rear Trailmax mission . How many km have you got out of front and how many do you think you will get ? Regards Paul .
I have same tires on my AT. It is great tiers, but I am not impressed about performance on wet. Almost kill me few times! That is a problem for me because in my country we have lots of rain.
Cheers, they’re tyre stickers that you can get from Dunlop dealers, or Dunlop directly. Check out there page on Instagram as the do giveaways each week I believe?
How are they when really leaning into turns on the pavement? I like to ride very aggressively on the road and the knobbies i currently have do decent but get a little sketchy at times.
@mancavemoto appreciate the information. Have some Tusk D-Sport right now and lean them pretty good at lower speed. Not willing to do it at higher speeds though such as in a mountain pass.
@mancavemoto to be fair, it's an good question about mpg! How about the weight of the tyres? Mitas e07 are a very heavy tyre compared to a 90/10 road tyre! I believe its as much as 10kgs from a light road tyre, to a heavy 50/50 tyre! More noticeable leaning into a corner! So much can change mpg, tyre choice, psi, extras....panniers..lights, crash bars etc! Style of riding! E5 over e10 fuel! Never use e10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤
Obviously some compromise versus a pure road tyre, but much grippier than I was expecting and they are confidence inspiring. I didn’t find them sketchy, but with any tyre like this I would be going too far over on wet tarmac
@@mancavemoto well I thank you for your review.. no one has said anything about the mileage.. quite expensive here in the US been a little hesitant on purchasing a set until I seen the mileage people are getting..thanks again..stay safe and keep it shiny side up
@@mancavemotothanks, I got around 12000 kms rear on Trailmax mission front and rear , ( just your front what kms do you think you will get ) as I may try the raid front next time .
I've only ridden the Anakee wild for short periods when theyve been fitted to press bikes. My initial impression is that the Raids are better oon the road, and the Wilds better when things get a bit muddy off road?
All tyres are compromises. But these look good. Yiu have to be honest about what you need, and for me a 70/30 fits, although I prefer the look of those. Ride safe 👍
Am I the only one who has found this tire to be super noisy? Starting at 39 mph it has a loud howling. It goes away at 48mph and appears again at 70 mph..... they also wear fast... i am looking somewhere else for my next tire. After 2,000 miles you probably are off with a 70/30 profile tire. I just cannot recommend them.
@@mancavemoto i may have gotten a bad rear tire. I only know of a couple of people with the same issue. One rides a tenere 700 and cb500x and I ride a vstrom 800 de.
@@alrightdave6135 yes, i did watch the whole video, you just have not heard my tires. I dont think these tires are that great. Going with mitas e07 next. Believe me I was very disappointed. At first i thought it was my set up so took it to the shop and tried to correct and double check many things. I was never able to correct the loud howling as I mentioned above.
I found these quieter on the road than the OEM Karoo Streets! But I hear good things about the Karoo 4. Two very similar 50/50 tyres, one being a slightly harder compound than the other 👍
I’ve really rated your helmet reviews but have to say I’m not convinced you’ve done much / any real off road on these tyres. Nothing on the vid was anything approaching a typical green lane. Could you hand on heart say you’ve done enough miles and ridden in sufficiently challenging conditions to be able to review off road ability? I’m interested in these but need to be sure they will work on wet muddy Uk green lanes.
If you’ve based that statement on the footage in this video then i hope you realise that I’ve not filmed every mile I’ve covered! I’m not an expert off roader, but I have ridden in enough muddy green lanes to know that these may struggle. Maybe a lighter bike would make them more effective, but for me they are maybe not aggressive enough for anything deeper than a few inches. Interestingly though they are now standard fit on the bikes at the Honda adventure centre
**There is a typo on the pricing graphic, it should of course say 2024 not 2022!
Yup, like this format better. No distractions from the information

Wet Tarmac or wet dirt/mud? You can't ride them like a road tyre in the wet, nearly but not quite, and be careful with the tyre pressure
Nice that you like these tyres, however Dunlop is a channel partner I believe so you probably aren't going to say too much in criticism about them.🤷
Then you'd be wrong, i'm always open and honest about all items I review
Any idea how these compare on wet tarmac to the Mitas E0-7+ ? Less grip ? About the same or better grip?
Sadly I’ve not tried the EO-7+, so can’t offer a comparison
Loved the review dude🤙🏻
Question; how did you get your tyres with the yellow lettering around them? That looks nice! 🛞
Cheers, they’re tyre stickers that you can get from Dunlop dealers, or Dunlop directly. Check out there page on Instagram as the do giveaways each week I believe?
How are they when really leaning into turns on the pavement? I like to ride very aggressively on the road and the knobbies i currently have do decent but get a little sketchy at times.

@mancavemoto appreciate the information. Have some Tusk D-Sport right now and lean them pretty good at lower speed. Not willing to do it at higher speeds though such as in a mountain pass.
what is the best adventure tire for road and dirt in your opinion?
I guess that depends on how much road and how much off road. I’ve been impressed with the Raids and I’ll definitely fit them again
@@mancavemoto On hwy to get to the dirt , how did they do?
Great review as always. Quick question that ive never seen asked maybe because its daft but how does a 50/50 affect MPG ?
Cheers, in reality it should have negligible effect, there’s little extra rolling resistance
@mancavemoto to be fair, it's an good question about mpg! How about the weight of the tyres? Mitas e07 are a very heavy tyre compared to a 90/10 road tyre!

What pressures were you using on the dirt?
Left them the same for all conditions. I don’t have any dandy conditions and the off road around me is usually hard pack
do you still have your interceptor good sir? and how is it treating you?
I do and there’s a update video coming soon!
how they handle sport tarmac driving with high angle?
Obviously some compromise versus a pure road tyre, but much grippier than I was expecting and they are confidence inspiring. I didn’t find them sketchy, but with any tyre like this I would be going too far over on wet tarmac
Let me ask.. would buy another set or will get something different??
Yes I’ll be replacing these with another set

Thanks mate. Prefer this format to the talking helmet stuff.
Prefer this format for this type of review
Am I the only one who has found this tire to be super noisy? Starting at 39 mph it has a loud howling. It goes away at 48mph and appears again at 70 mph..... they also wear fast... i am looking somewhere else for my next tire. After 2,000 miles you probably are off with a 70/30 profile tire.

I found these quieter on the road than the OEM Karoo Streets! But I hear good things about the Karoo 4. Two very similar 50/50 tyres, one being a slightly harder compound than the other 👍
I’ve really rated your helmet reviews but have to say I’m not convinced you’ve done much / any real off road on these tyres. Nothing on the vid was anything approaching a typical green lane. Could you hand on heart say you’ve done enough miles and ridden in sufficiently challenging conditions to be able to review off road ability? I’m interested in these but need to be sure they will work on wet muddy Uk green lanes.
If you’ve based that statement on the footage in this video then i hope you realise that I’ve not filmed every mile I’ve covered! I’m not an expert off roader, but I have ridden in enough muddy green lanes to know that these may struggle. Maybe a lighter bike would make them more effective, but for me they are maybe not aggressive enough for anything deeper than a few inches. Interestingly though they are now standard fit on the bikes at the Honda adventure centre
This guys comment is about a duchebag as it gets.
@@ck166666 agree with you. Classifying into gravel and mud is not indicative of extended off road riding.
@@ck166666 maybe you should do it your fuckin self ey?
@devinhelgeson These are a 50/50 tyre designed for big adventure bikes, they are not enduro tyres.
