Dunlop D952.

It's an Enduro spec, and road legal. Not as soft as a D756, but almost as good. I've got D756's front and rear on a KTM450EXC, they work great in the dirt, but I get about 600kms from a rear. Front lasts about three rear tyres.
2000 SR-5 turbo diesel, dual airlockers, bit of a lift, some 15x8 sunnies, 32" bighorns, a few spotties, and a wireless, and a kiddie seat in the back.

IRC GP-1 are supposed to be "the shit" according to the on-line dual sporters. Supposed to be a true 50/50 tyre, I will be trying these next.

I ride, but not dirt bikes.

I'm the equal of the 2 evils I guess lol :D

so can't really help with a tire, maybe one of those supamoto ones might do the trick but might not suit the bike that much.
