dunlop street legal knobbies

**stormsearcher** · #1 30 Sep 2004

am continually suprised at the exemplary road manners of my 3aj.rode 80kms in pouring rain up the blue mountains yesterday. i have dunlop knobbies on the bike. gr8 road handling in dry. was nervous as i got caught out in a storm at night 80kms away from home. but the knobbies really suprised me as i was going around sweepers at 80+kmph in full wet conditions.think will run dunlops fer my outback trips or rather all the time. any1 with any other gr8 experience regarding knobbies on the tenere? is there a better tyre fer all round conditions?

Second that. My street-legal dunlop d909 140/80 18 (80off/20on profile) rear tire did 18000kms mostly tarmac, and was only changed because it began making terrible noise when doing high speed on tarmac. Think it's not in dunlops product line anymore unfortunately.
Now running mitas E07 (front+rear), great on-road, but not nearly the same grip offroad (it's ~ ½ the price of dunlops).
