Theres a review here on the new Dunlop tire. I was wondering if anyone had a chance to mount them, and would like some feedback as to whether they are any better than the 756 for soft terrain, woods, etc. The review sounds good, but I'd like to hear some feedback from the DRN crew. Thanks!
I just put a 773 on my new CR500AF. I have only ridden on it one day so far but in muddy conditions it seems pretty good. Hooks up and corners pretty well also. It still looks new with no rounding off at all. I am happy with it so far.
Interesting, because I bought mine at a local shop and even though it was the first 773 they had to sell they were getting more last week. I went to the dunlop web-site and it said the 773 was going to be available the end of November 01. http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/
The local shops here on the east coast are usually slackers when it comes to getting new items. They only hear about most of the stuff after someone inquires about it. Thats why we easterners depend on you west coast guys for the real skinny!!!!
I think Im going to order a front/rear set. :cool:
wayne - If you plan to ride any NETRA Turkey Runs this year I would advise against running a soft-terrain tire on the rear. While they deliver excellent traction in mud, they leave a lot to be desired in rocks. Of the two rear tires I've used up here, a Dunlop D-755 and a Michelin S-12, I wouldn't recommend running either. I see a lot more IRC and Pirelli rear tires than Dunlop or Michelin. Even seen a few Mitas tires.
Well, I burned another 5 gal today and the 773 is still looking great! The conditions where the same as the 1st ride being muddy to some hard-pack and rocks. I was really riding hard at times and I am amazed at how well it hooks up in a straight line and climbing hills. It also corners very well but not on hard-pack. So far I will buy it again if the dirt is moist at all. :p
I cant wait to try them. Yesterday, I came ripping around a turn, hit a nice patch of muck, and ended up on my face after washing out the front end. These dang 739's just have NO grip in the soft stuff. Almost anything, (street tires?), has got to be better than these 739's in the soft stuff. :think
