Any opinions on the dunlop d605

Just about the cheapest tire I can find But very worried about the weight of the bike

I used them on my XR250.. rear is great... front kept washing out
at anything above 15psi... i think the weight of the XT660 would
be border line on a Dunlop 605...
If yer after a 50/50 tyre.. have a look at the Shinko 700...
I rode the DB1K last year with them on the XTR... they worked well at
18 psi front / 22 psi rear on dirt & 24 / 28 on seal...
They give a lot of side bite... I noticed it was a lot harder the throttle
steer the rear with the 700 on gravel...


SHINKO 700

wash out.... lose grip / side sideways...
The Shinko are a quite a bit cheaper here...

Shinko use to be Yokoharma motor bike tires..

Thanks.
Didn't know the term but I certainly have experienced the feeling many times.
