I have a Ktm 690 enduro r and don’t get off-road much. I got “tired” of replacing the rear tire every 2000 miles so I put a set of Dunlop missions on. They were really slippery when first mounted up but after they got scrubbed in they were great. Much smoother on the road and when I hit 2000 miles they still looked nearly new. I can’t imagine how many miles I will get outta this set but I’m already way past any knobby tire I’ve had. I just had to be honest about the type of riding I do most and get a set of tires that fit better. For me the Dunlop trailmax missions are a better option
I know of riders who get over 10,000 miles on a set of Dunlop Missions. They will be my next set of tires once the originals on my Honda Transalp XL750 wear out.
They put street tires on there because of the weight their lighter typically so they can claim a lower dry and wet weight for the spec sheet. It's why when you do see an offer in tire it is often a TKC80 or metzeller karoo 3 or pirelli's scorpion STR. They are some of the lightest off road tires.
did you have any problems with a slight vibration in the handle bars when riding at highway speeds? I found that after about 100 miles or so the vibration would make my hands numb. Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up finding a pair of Alpinestars that fit which was a bit shocking to me. I'll keep them in mind. Still need some other daily drivers.
Ran my first set almost 10k on my T Rally Pro 50-50 riding in Colorado. I'll never use anything else on it. Gravel, jeep trails, freeway, baby heads, sand. If you are riding a rally Pro you do not need to switch modes every time you stop. Start the bike push mode and the check mark off you go in off-road mode again
Personally I feel these are just overpriced shinko 705 tires. I haven’t actually ridden the dunlops yet, but the weight and hard compound is similar, and I can’t see how the tread pattern would be much better off road. I feel like they’d be slightly better than the shinkos in most ways, but not worth double the money imo.
I've had both. The 705s last half as long but grip reliably on cold wet pavement. Neither are great on gravel, 804/805s served me well for unpaved forest service. Trailmax missions are long lasting and great for dry riding. *one guys opinion
Trailmax will triple tire life on DR 650 compared to 705. Excellent fire road gravel road tire and no pavement issues. Road to edges on Dragon and area. No issues
Did you find that you feel more vibration with these tires on the street? I put a set on my 2021 atas and at 110 kph the vibration increased to where I thought maybe the balance was out.(checked and it’s good).
Balanced these myself after the shop and found the shop balance was very wrong. Used these tires on the Idaho BDR and did not like them at all. Not aggressive enough.
You gonna get hurt with Trailmax mission off road. Improved surfaces ok just take it slow. Gravel like riding on marbles. Motoz ADV is a big improvement. I am running Trailmax Mission on MGV85TT now great street and dirt tire. Gravel / Sand not so good.
It really comes down to how much off road you do. If you are primarily on the road and are not very aggressive off road they are great for you. If you are aggressive off-road you probably need a more knobby tire.
@@spazonwheels more road, less dirt Here in Greece we have a lot of beaches at the end of the road, that the moto has to go through short distance roads but with sharp rocks ! So i need one that will go very good on the road but won't tear apart on the sharp rocks when I'll try to go to the beach (Thanks for the feedback)
Sorry for the late resposne haven't been posting much till no. I was running them full at the time since I was on mostly gravel and paved roads mostly. If I was going into gnarly stuff I would drop at least 10 lbs out.
The road goes straight ahead for 25 miles, and you're afraid to sit down? Why should I take tyre advice from you? I sit comfortably, with a big grin on my face, through 80mph turns in roads like these dude...
Instead of buying new boots to accommodate your diabetic feet, you should consider curing your diabetes with diet. If your doctors tell you can't, it's time for a new doctor. I'm on the Carnivore Facebbok Group and people are curing their diabetes all the time. This includes Type 1 and Type 2.

Would have like to see some actual off road testing vs just straight line on gravel.
I'll get there still learning this offroad thing. Still new to it.

They are selling in Europe 150/70 R18 and 90/90 R21 for 280 and 180 euros..... so it´s a no go!
I have this one on my triumph street scrambler and I, m very happy!!!

I did not have any issues with vibration.
Try Altberg bike boots made in Richmond Uk. They will make boots to order, mail order. Even make each boot a different size and widths.

Not too much noise on pavement? I'd like to try them on a VFR1200X.
i've got 3000 on the back and 4500 km on the front....you can't tell by looking at them
That's my next tire!!
Because most do not go off road Starbucks cruiser!
Nice tour of Kansas, a state that I haven't been in yet. Do those tires whine much on pavement? It didn't sound like it from the video.
Not at all. They get wobbly at high speed but way past speed limits only.

After they broke in they felt fine. A little bit of a rumble mostly noticed at slow speeds. I ride highways at 128 kph.

most adv riders ride mostly on pavement.

What do you think between this and Continental TKC 70 ?
Do you (or friend of yours) have experience on the "Continental TKC 70" ?
It really comes down to how much off road you do. If you are primarily on the road and are not very aggressive off road they are great for you. If you are aggressive off-road you probably need a more knobby tire.
@@spazonwheels more road, less dirt
Here in Greece we have a lot of beaches at the end of the road, that the moto has to go through short distance roads but with sharp rocks !
So i need one that will go very good on the road but won't tear apart on the sharp rocks when I'll try to go to the beach

How much air ?

Agree. Those are highways where I live. If you have a tube channel... Instant off road expert reviewer it seems these days.

Interestingly I've just started Carnivore diet. I'm down 25 lbs It is helping.
dr's will just keep you on meds.
Not ipesed very hard compound👎
....
worst tire review or impression ever
I can agree but I also never really road off road in my life. Much better than stock for gravel roads at least.
