Thank you all for your input (in this and other forums). After much research across all of these forums, and your inputs here I have decided to get the Dunlop D606 for the rear and the Pirelli MT44 for the front.
Major decision factors:
Rear: Almost all positive feedback on Dunlop D606 across the forums, including the Baja wins. It was a decision here between the Dunlop and the Kenda. Very good feedback on the Kenda as well.
Front: Almost unanimous poor feedback on the Dunlop and Kenda for the front. Very strong feedback on the Pirelli MT44 on the front for my dirt environments.
I'll be sure and give a ride report after installation and testing.
