Tusk Dsport Adventure Motorcycle 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.

Good set of tires. Installed them myself with tire spoons. Was a little tough but not my first set to install it does take a little know how. Was worried about balancing them but I installed them with the yellow dot on the tire to the valve stem where it belongs. The test ride was great with much improved traction and they were balanced out very nice as they were. No additional weights needed. Rode very well on paved road at high speed 70+ mph. The traction on gravel roads very good not afraid to turn or lean the bike in fear of sliding as with the stock tires. They were installed on a 2024 Honda CRF300l. Did not notice any less or more power due to very slight size difference from stock. Made the bike look more aggressive. Price was good to me.

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!

Awesome tires

A year ago, I took a chance on the Tusk Dsport® Adventure tires, intrigued by their aggressive off-road design and somewhat hesitant about their performance on paved roads. Having previously owned a Yamaha 125 Enduro equipped with similar aggressive tires—which served me well—I hoped the Tusk tires would live up to those standards. Concerns about longevity lingered, especially given the tendency for modern components to wear out more quickly than in the past. With a price tag of $125 for the set, it felt like a worthwhile risk, particularly compared to the $400 investment in Shinko tires that might offer only a year or two of use. Fast forward to today, and I’m pleased to report that these tires have exceeded my expectations. After 4,000 miles, they still show impressive durability and performance. When I took my bike to the dealership for routine service, their technicians expressed skepticism about how well the Tusk tires would hold up, yet I was thrilled to hear their feedback confirming that these tires have defied those early doubts. The current condition of the tires suggests I could squeeze another 1,500 miles out of them easily. However, with the new year upon us, I’ve decided it’s a good opportunity to invest in a fresh set. Performance on highway speeds has also been surprisingly stable. I initially thought the tires might compromise stability at 65-70 mph, but they handled those speeds with confidence. While I tend to avoid pushing the bike to its limits for extended periods, there are times when a little extra speed is necessary for passing. In those scenarios, the Tusk tires proved reliable. Off-road performance is where these tires truly shine. Their aggressive tread pattern handles dirt roads and gravel with ease. I discovered that letting some air out before hitting rough terrain enhances grip significantly—a crucial tip for adventure riding. Carrying a portable air pump has been invaluable for adjusting tire pressure on the go. Overall, I highly recommend the Tusk Dsport® Adventure tires. Their durability and performance make them a fantastic value at $125 per set. Based on my experience, I believe a rider could expect to get around 6,000 miles from a set, which makes these tires a solid choice for both on-road and off-road adventures.

690 Enduro tires for sure! Nice and tough, great on hardpack

Good price

These tires have been working well in a variety of conditions on a DR650. They also seem to be wearing very little. They have an extremely stiff carcass, that makes mounting difficult and tire pressure pointless. With a couple hundred miles on them, they seem to ride fairly smooth and hold *enough* traction on the street. It took a lot of miles even for the little rubber nubs to come off, I expect them to wear well. I am sure these don't have the traction of a dedicated dirt tire on slick rock or sand, but they seem to do well enough for the way a dual-sport gets ridden. Sand and snow they are adequate or better, great on hard packed gravel roads, fine on asphalt or loose rock for their intended purpose, seem not so great in mud so far, but that could be expected.
