It would be great if we could get an updated video on this topic!
Bilbo Baggins honestly not much has changed haha
I'd like to see thoughts on Tusk Dsports....They are super loose to me.... Hoping it's just me...
@@djwilson48625 loose? You dont like the tusk?
tires to me, I like new ones
if I'm riding the T1(tour of Idaho), I'm using Kenda Parker DT(using nuetech mousse)
if riding slab to local trails(and single track) Tusk Dsport with TuBliss, the Dsports are fine 8psi front, 5psi in the rear.
Pirelli scorps, love them too, but more $ and I only get 800 to 1000 miles on them if easy riding, D606 rear gets it done too.
less grip, wears longer, motoz desert HT, even with Tubliss, the southern T1 with its climbs are a bit more challenging but still doable.
I burn through more parker DTs than anything, but post covid, rears are up 30% in price, I think due to availability.
overall .we are lucky to have lots of good tires!
@@djwilson48625 They are loose to me too. I won't buy the rear again. It's wearing fast and starting to chunk knobs. Traction with it isn't near what it is with a D606. It's decent, but there's times where I had issues with traction that I never had with the D606.
I like the newer vids F9 is doing, but I really miss simple, concise reviews like this.
So basically i found this channel less than 24h ago and now i'm a subscribed bingewatcher..and i don't own a bike yet..really a nice channel!
The best.
Same for me. Got a bike yet? (Edit found channel like a year ago, but reeally started watching a lot like a week ago :) ).
It's pretty much a staple for those of us who eat drink sleep f*** and s*** motorcycles too
@@megapet777 yep! I'd tell you to come check her out on my channel, but it's in italian and i don't know how much can you enjoy it 😄 it's a 2003 hornet 600..i also have an '85 CBX750f that belonged to my father
@@RoadUser_Motovlog ohh my father also has 2003 hornet :D and I have 1992 kawasaki zxr 400
3 year later and this video is still so relevant
2036 still relevant
@@Tashyncho-Sapa and hopefully they'll still be making the d606/mt21 then too! 😂
@@xchemie I sure hope so. That's what I've been running since 2007.
Trackmaster rear Pirelli MT front never use anything else
Love these reviews, honestly the most helpful channel I've found. Helped me find the perfect tire for my Aprilia rxv 550
Great video buddy! Very detailed, well put together and the information presentation regarding visual aids and experience were unparalleled. Keep up the great reviews, we really enjoy what you do for us.
Just got back into trail riding after 15 years. You’re making it much easier! Thank you !
Best honest review I've seen , because I've owned almost every tire referenced
Always so informative, thank you!
These videos/reviews are nicely done. Informative and entertaining. Keep up the great work!
What a great comparison & review!! Thanks for the information!
very thorough tire review. Thanks for putting so much effort into it.
Nice to see the MT21 on the list, back when I was younger and could tell the difference between tires it's the one I settled on for my riding style.
Thanks for the review. Great info for certain. I have a WR250R, and I ride pretty much only off road, maybe a quick in the neighborhood test run occasionally. I've been running the D606 rear and MT21 front and have been pretty happy with the setup. It can definitely sketchy on sand and mud if you don't have the pressures down to lower, around 12 to 15 is where I normally run them.. Where I ride most of the time, the Red River Motorcycle Trails there is a wide variety of terrain from sandy, muddy, rocky, and roots.. you name it. This setup has done pretty good overall. The front is still in good shape after one season of riding, and the read is about ready for a refresh. I am thinking about going with a Michelin StarCross 5 medium rear after I get the state inspection done.
Thank you for your review just purchased the D606 for my new Honda XR 650L
You do some really thought out reviews on the tires. I appreciate it, thank you.
Fantastic channel and fantastic vids dude! Love your vids!
About to put a comment to ask about these. Great work btw man, love your channel
Great review professional and accurate. I have had the ac10 but now I'm running the 606 will prob get another this summer.
Hello Fortnine. Good review. Thank you!
I've tried the AC-10, D606, Kenda Parker, Pirelli Scorpion Pro. My friend has done the AC-10 and T-63. The T-63 rear is freakishly small compared to other tires of the same size and they also wear quickly on the road from what my friend says. I ride mostly desert and 98% dirt. My favorite front is the Pirelli Scorpion Pro. Very confidence inspiring. I like the Kenda Parker DT rear. Scorpion Pro rear is good but has FIM sized knobbies which aren't as tall as the Kenda DT.
For this year's LA Barstow to Vegas I may do a Trackmaster 2 rear and Scorpion Pro front.
Nice video man! Thanks for the info!
Great advice! Just what I was looking for! Thanks
Great review! Thanks! ...becoming a regular fortnine customer...
Much appreciated :-) - NeilF9
Great review man ...👍🏻👍🏻
One of the best reviews out there.
Sharing it with my biker bros...
Best video on enduro tyre review out there.
I like how you talk in the earlier videos. Feels like you're just having a chat. The newer videos you sound like you're reading a twilight novel at a jazz club on a tuesday night
Trackmaster all the way! Use them on my 1999 WR400 and my 2003 WR450. Gone through three sets of them and also a set of Metzelers, Dunlops and Pirellis. The Kendas lasted the longest with no chunking like you mentioned and also great grip, even on the road. They’re also the cheapest! Just realized this video is 4 years old! Oh Well, the Kendas are still my favourites. The chunking issue must have been resolved some time ago. They’ve been great the last two years.
Seen Kenda tires 3.50 and 2.75 last 30 years on 49cc's.
Freaking awesome review!!!
I absolutely love the Pirelli Scorpion XCMS, these seem to hook up in everything! DOT approved also.
Well this Video is a few years old now, still I bought the Pirelli Scorpion Pro based on Ryans recommendation. I absolutely love it! Most fun I ever had on my DR350 :)
Hey Ryan, ZERO dislikes after 5800 views tells me that you talk sense. Thanks. Keep 'em coming.
Really impressed by this video.
You're a legend mate.
I just went from Mitas E-07s to Michelin Anakee Wilds. Love the look of the Wilds on my bike and it feels more gripped up on and off road. At higher speeds the Wilds can wander a little bit but it’s a fair trade off since it feels so much more planted to the ground. I use my bike less off-road than I’d like (town commuter and gravel roads), if I were riding single track enduro style I’d probably want something more aggressive.
this channel is amazing this kid is on point
Lots of knowledge...good work
been running 606's on my rmx for a few years and your right the front tyre has crap feel onroad but the rear is a very impressive tyre.
did a 2 week offroad ride back in 2013 up to cape york and on the 3rd day my chain guard broke of and carved a 3-5mm deep groove through the rear tyres sidewall. it didnt loose air and i rode the rest of an extremely punishing trip on it.
wasnt untill this year that it finaly failed me after riding around fraser island in the sand for 2 days at low pressure the sidewall must have failed without me noticing as the case is so rigid and the bike so light.
wasnt untill a month later when i wheeled the bike out of the shed to check pressures did I realize what had happened.
cant recomend this tyre enough.
allso run t63s on a ttr230 , which is a great onroad tyres but bad in sand.
About to try the pirreli Mt21 rallycross on a Dr200.
good reviews by the way dude.
You know some stuff bud!
Cheers for all the quality videos.
Keep up the top work
I just love you and your channel...
Great video!
I'd love to have seen some Kendas and Shinkos compared with these.
I've got the Pirelli MT21's on my XT225. They carve up off road very well, and I've used them in hare scrambles without lacking for traction. Then on the flip side of that, I've cornered so hard on the street with them, I've scraped my saddle bags. They're a very confident tire. The only way I can get that XT on a 65mph freeway near me is to take the ramp (Marked 25mph) going flat out (60-70mph) just because I won't be able to accelerate on the straight portion of the ramp quick enough.
The front tire has very bad uneven wear, where one side of the nubs wears faster than the other, but the tire can be reversed. I won't be reversing mine, since I'm in the market for fresh ones before I take my dual sport to an arenacross race. And I haven't ruled out the MT21's.
I run a Continental TKC-80 front and a Dunlop D606 rear for a DRZ 400S. In my opinion a perfect match
After some research, I ordered a dunlop d606 rear, and a pirelli mt21 front. I haven't tried them yet. But your recommendation sure makes me feel more confident in the choice.
Currently, I've got a full set of kenda k270's and I honestly love them on and off road. I can corner like a sport bike (though I can't reach those speeds) and off road, I don't have the grip to wheelie in loose dirt, but I make it everywhere real dirtbikes go. If my new set doesn't live up to the kendas, I'll be going back.

Taylor St. Pierre two years later... how did the 606/21 combo work out for you? Tia
hey man how did this setup work? 4 years later haha, im about to order this set up
six years later, still waiting for an answer :)
@@pitchwife7573 🤣
After taking the appropriate amount of time to decide, the bike ended up getting stolen so I didn't get enough time to really try them out anyway.
I'll try again later. I'll let you guys know in about 6 more years
@@taylor2105 Thanks for the reply! haha. Man, sorry to hear that about the bike. Gutting. Hope you have another!
I'd love to hear your review on the tractionator enduro serires. Supposed to be better then the dunlop 606s from what everyone has told me. Great video
Top notch review! Would love to see your opinion on the Pirelli Scorpion RALLY tire which appears to have the exact same lug pattern as the Pirelli MT21 although the lugs are shaped differently.
So thorough :)
You are the best Ryan. Plz do a new updated tire vid.
have only tried the Dunlop D606 from the tires you tested, but its awesome. hooks up on mud and street, good lean angles on street. would love to try the Michelin T63 and compare.
Just a side note, if you're riding a light dual sport like a ktm, pick the most aggressive front tire possible as they wear way slower than a rear tire, but for the rear, pick something like the d606 and go easy on the throttle
I love to know what you think of the Motoz Tractionator Desert tires and how they compare. Thanks for the great reviews.
Ageeed
whats the best street legal offroad winter tire so i can studd it for my dual-sport :p
Nice professional effort ;-)
Hi FortNine! I could use some advice, riding in 90% dirt/soft trail, any thoughts on running a Pirelli Scorpion Pro 19" front knobby as a rear tire? Riding a Sur Ron LBX and the rears are notoriously difficult to size due to clearances. Any recommendations off the top of your head for a good rear in soft 2.75" or 70/100-19?
Thanks king Joffrey!!
Awesome video. Please, cover more dirt/road related topics. How to choose dirt helmet, goggles, boots for noobs, etc.
Hey FortNine! My son Ryan and I really enjoy your channel! We just picked up a couple of Husqvarna FE501’s. We are now in the great debate of what tire to replace the stock ones with. Your last review is a couple of years ago. We are looking for a 90 dirt 10 street DOT tire. Would you recommend anything differently from your review a couple of years ago? Thanks again! Love the Channel!!!!
Thank you
Should i get Pirelli MT 21's for my Yamaha DT 125? I plan to use it mostly offroad but i want a tire that can do both onroad and offroad. So is this a good choice?
Hi Ryan, do you guys get MotOZ tyres?
What tire would be the best for deep snow riding for a Yz250 im thinking biggg knob
I've ran a track master with tubliss on a 350exc I'm a good rider and even on the road there are no issues with it trying to low side in corners. Also no chunky with it almost wore out. Just my 2 cents
What do you think about The Metzeler 6 Days Extreme. Front and Rear. I do about 60/40. Thanks Bud
So where does the pirelli scorpion rally fit in?
d606 front is only "sketchy" when new on pavement. Once you scrub them in with few miles they hold pavement very well as long as it's dry. Everything about dual sports is a trade off and I've been very pleased with d606 front and rear on my wr.
i really enjoy mine on pavement. just dont ride them like a street tire and youll have nice time on road.
So I have a 90 dr350s (the second legal one in America at that #2 of 90) I ended up getting some kenda k270 rear tires and a perreli mt21 front tire...is that gonna be a good combo or should I change rear tires from the kenda and go with something else (I have a hook up on tires and I only payed $20 for the kenda so I'm not to worried about wasted money
May try D606 and/or MT-21, but...If I used an AC-10 rear what's a good front to match? AC-10 front's ok but small by some reports. Any thoughts on an aggressive front to match AC-10 rear? I use this bike mostly off road. Even if I have to ride on the road a bit of distance (50 km or more) it is only to get to off road trails.
You should definitely try the Michelin Anakee Wild tires!
Congrats on almost 50,000
Here hes at 948k what a difference 3 years makes. Well deserved for this channel!
@@Godhorse6969And NOW, he's at 1.93 million, what a difference indeed
I have a question will a 120/90/19 fit on a 2008 yz450f and would it be a bad choice for just bombing around in all different terrains? As I just bought a maxxis it in this size and not sure if I mad a bad choice
Love the video! Nice and sweet. I have a question though - where would you put the Michelin AC10 in comparision to Scorpion? I'm asking because I'm looking for a tire for my WR250R which will be more less 80off/20on, mosty light to intermediate terrain and I think more sand then rocks. I do however use the bike to move around the city from time to time, and I do have to reach the offroad areas as well, hence tne 20. I like the AC10s but with all these choices I'm at a loss a bit :)
ac10 i ran both on my ktm 300 and hands down ac10
Your video releases are uncannily in tune with my buying needs. I just bought the T63s for my '08 Husaberg FE550 :)
Sweeeeeet bike. ~RyanF9
Indeed, awesome bike!
I can't believed they shelved it.
BTW, Answer your questions, even if it was years ago.😄
Were still here!🥰
BTW2, What about the Metzler MC360, aside from locking up easy on pavement, true story, its a good tire for mud, but the front wears funny.
One of the best dual sport youtube video masters!
I currently have MotoZ Desert H/T on my 690, and have'nt tried anything else yet. (still a new rider) I like them and they seem to last long, but I find them quite loud on the pavement. I'd like to know how they compare to the D606 or T63
Thankyou
You should check out the Moto Z Tractionator IT for your next off-road street legal tire... Its amazing!!
Metzeler came out with a new DOT motocross tire (MC360) that I'd love to know how you think stacks up versus the competition in this video. Any chance of a 2017 edition of this video to come?
any thoughts on the michelin trail x light? ill be on street most the time
I put something similar on my DRZ-400S, it’s the fattest tire I have put on yet, it’s a Metzeler DOT 120/100-18” fat nobby tire. But I really wanted to try it out, it changed my ratio and now my rpms are a lot lower on the street. I like it, it doesn’t feel solid on the turns so you just have to take it easy but that fat tire fits!! And my bike looks way more tuff, it’s a cool look with that fat nobbys.
I running a 15 tooth/44 tooth sprocket ⚙️. If anyone was wondering.
Haven't watched it yet but the way is a Trackmaster rear and Pirelli Mt front. DOT approved and goes through anything. You will replace the rear tire every 600-1000 miles but they only cost $60--80usd. One bad crash in mud has convinced me to just buy a tire that works in the worst conditions I ride in.
Would love to see this video updated to the newer tires available now...
Hello, just wonder between Dunlop EN 91 vs AT 81 vs D 606 …
The EN 91 at road would last as the AT 81 ?
Between these two and the D 606 , at Off road ?
What are your opinions on the shinko 244s if you have heard of them?
Shinko 700's are hard to beat. Cheap, good mileage, alternating knobs so they're smooth on the highway, great on dirt roads. I get about 3,000 miles out of the back, 4,000 out of the back.
AC 10 is discontinued... could you do a review of his successor michelin tracker?
And what about MAXXIS 7305?
are the trakmaster legal for highway use here In uk as well?
Will you do a update video like this and include the Motoz Tractionator Desert H/T
I was pretty disappointed to find that you guys don't stock the t63. What would you recommend to take its place then?
Nice video. You finally got a hair cut!
Do you have any reviews of the motoz tractionator?
Since you are a neighbor from the north, I figured I'd make a comparison between the Michelin Desert Race what I personally view as its 4-wheeled vehicle DOT equal; the Toyo M55. They're both tires that will cost you $300+ as of today, and both are equally hard to find any significant information on (probably both produced in small quantities) however I've NEVER heard anything negative about either tire. Most reviews on the M55 are from oilfield workers in rural Canada, and say they outlast the truck they're fitted on commonly. Having owned a a set for ≥30k miles, often with 7-10k lbs. in tow behind, I'd assume they aren't lying. Personally haven't owned a Michelin yet because I haven't had any desire to do much off-road but with a few years experience I'm a bit more comfortable taking the LRP off road. But I personally believe either of these I mentioned are assuredly the best "cannot afford any issues/SHTF" tires for their respective vehicles (4WD Trucks/Vehicles or Dirt/Dual-Sport Bikes) even though the average consumer might have a heart attack from the sticker shock. 2 examples where you really do get what you pay for.
what do you think about the Karoo 3? or the TKC 80? for a 800+cc bike
I prefer TKC80s pretty much everywhere, but they also cost more than they should. K60s will give you better mileage for your $, especially on a 800+cc bike. Shinko makes the E804/E805, which is essentially a TKC80 rip-off. That also offers more bang for your buck, and handles about the same as a TKC80. I talk about some of this stuff in these videos: ua-cam.com/video/HvN913Zv6SM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/7YV0UzL68oU/v-deo.html. Cheers! ~RyanF9
OK. I ordered some Michelin Desert Race tires for my '02 Honda XR650R, a 90/90-21 Front and a 140/80-18. I seriously hope these things hang as I'm riding about 4 miles on the street to the desert, where I have 220 square miles of the most inhospitable desert environment known to man!!!
I'd like to see what you think of Metzeler MC360s as they released after this vid
nice video
Hi Ryan . Is the k760 Trakmaster 2 reversible?
Any thoughts on the mefo explorer?
Hey fortnine what the best tire for 80 trail 20 roAd .??? Thank
I cannot find AC10... Have they been discontinued? Any replacements?
Great review but it seems like you didn't compare the Trackmaster and AC-10 fronts !
Have you tried the maxxis?
