Tusk Dsport® Adventure Tire Set Tube Type (90/90-21 (54R)/120/90-18 (65R))

If you are dual sporting, you cannot beat the Tusk DSport. They are tough and durable. Unlike gummy dirt tires, they can take on long stretches of highway for thousands of miles without wearing down the lugs. They have incredible traction in all conditions. Great on dirt, trails, single track, and even rocky climbs! They are ok in the sand, but if you have a heavy bike like my KLR650 (over 500lbs when loaded) they will get you around but not gracefully. The best thing is that they perform well on the roads. Yes, they have a little wiggle when brand new, but it’s not bad, and once you’re used to it you can lean into the turns just like a sport bike.I have DSports on 4 different bikes. My WR450F, DR350S, and 2 KLR650s. I can’t say enough good things about them. The performance for the cost pretty much makes other tires obsolete.

I got these tires for my dual sport with off-roading in mind, and that’s exactly how I use them. I ride in some very rocky areas and could swear I’m going to have a pinch flat some times, but these tires are great.I have run them with as little as 15psi at times and they hook up very well.. sometimes they slide on wet rocks, but I think most tires will do that. Hill climbs in rocks and packed dirt – you could pull a wheelie all the way up and keep traction on that back tire.I installed them myself, and they were pretty tough to get on the rims, but I kept working and finally got them.On the road they are, well they are knobbies.. and you will feel that. They hum on smooth paved roads, and feel a bit uneasy at first on the roads, but now I’m leaning into turns, and they are fine.In deep puddles and thick mud, they find their grip and get you through.. I was once in knee deep water with soft mud on the bottom and they pulled me right through it.So I do recommend these tires for dual sport bikes if your biased towards off roading. If you ride the roads mostly, you won’t need these, and you’d be better off with something a little smoother.

Great tires, but terrible balance. It took like 3 big weights on the front tire to get it close. I ran out of weights for the back, but they’re considerably better than the last set I had on there once I got them balanced. If you have bead locks, you’ll obviously have a lot more to counter, so I can’t blame it squarely on the tires.These do great on pavement and all the way up in the 80mpg range without a huge amount of fuss. They knobbies, so they’ll buzz a bit. But it’s not bad. I’ll repeat it again though, you really, really want to balance these things out of you want to go over 45-55mph, or else you’ll rattle your teeth out!These tires do excellent off-road even after q couple thousand miles. I haven’t worn them out yet, so pretty darn good so far!
