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.

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!

These tires work very well offroad, and are smooth as silk on-road. They also wear very well. Despite all that I've heard, they were also easy to mount and balance. They are my go-to dualsport tire.

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, awesome on road and off

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Great Tires for the PriceI put these Tusk Dsport tires on my bike and I’m really happy with them so far. On the street, they feel stable and track well even at higher speeds. They are a little noisy (you can hear the knobbies humming), but that’s expected with this kind of tire.

Extremely well made Off Road Tires, with an unheard of mileage rating. ("4-5K mi.) The rear tire especially, has a very stiff carcass/sidewall. I have them mounted on a 250cc Enduro that mainly sees Trail use, w/very little pavement use, perfect for that as these tires are more oriented to Off Road use than road use. (However they are DOT rated.) I would highly recommend these and would buy them again.
