If you ride a large dual sport rally-type motorcycle and need a tire that can handle capably through the desert and other off-road terrains as well as pavement, the Dunlop D908 Rally Raid Enduro Tire is an excellent option. It has enough grit to handle the power of large-displacement bikes and can tackle rough environments such as those present in rally raids and other cross-country races. And since it is DOT Compliant, it works great for adventure or dual sport bikes that also ride on the street.
The Dunlop D908RR features a tread pattern with deep lugs that give it great grip in the dirt. It can manage in numerous types of terrains. For example, the open space on the shoulders help it perform well in softer terrains like sand. The casing construction is heavy duty, allowing it to take abuse without failure. This is one of the reasons why the tire does so well in cross-country situations and performs great on heavier machines. The tire also does well on pavement. Air pressures can be adjusted depending on whether you’re off-road or on the street to maximize traction and tire longevity.
One of the features that creates fans of the Dunlop D908 is how well it wears. While riding style and habits will dictate the exact tire lifespan, the D908 has been known to last longer than other dual sport knobby tires – much longer. This makes it an excellent choice for long rides through harsh terrain.
