I work at Dunlop and build those tires. You guys have no idea what goes into building a tire, whether it is for a truck, car, atv, or semi. It really is pretty wild. They are tested and tested and tested. We are required to build x amount of tires an hour and every single one of them has to be perfect or we get our a$$ kicked (written up, threatened with our jobs, etc.). They are a good tire and we (not me, the engineers)are always in the process of designing something new and better.
It's funny, but the atv tires are the only ones we can keep up with. We are so far behind in every other tire, especially the GoodYear Wranglers and Mud rovers, the orders just keep coming in. So we are obviously doing something right. Since we run the risk of losing our job for building scrap tires, we don't mess around. For all you guys that say they are no good, you are in the minority because we are producing over 14,000 tires a day. And that is still not enough because we we have a couple hundred thousand on back-order
Plus, they always been good enough for Harley.

whats wrong??? Are you saying the dunlops are as tough as the 6ply holeshots???? You must not have pinched too many tires in your day. The 700 is just too heavy ,,,,,,needs a beefier tire.

oh ya btw our new kodiak 450 irs came with maxxis.....but our big bear had worn out tires on it (bald on the front) and 15% on the back but we only have about 20 plugs in them and about 20K miles so no complaint here.
the 20K miles is prolly close to because the odometer quit working in 99 and had been around 17 X i think
