| What does everyone think of Dunlop tires?
I have the KT135's on the rear and the KT131's on the front. Are these decent in the mud? I won't be going through anything real deep but I want to make sure I can go where I need to. The 135's look pretty good as far as digging and cleaning goes. The 131's leave a little to be desired but I guess they'll do ok. | | |  | Apr 2nd, 08, 06:51 PM | | Super Moderator STAFF Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Crossville,TN

| i have a set of 131 they stink in mud, but ride great and last a good while. these on the front of a 2wd are fine, i would get a more agressive tire on the back of a 2wd IMO. i have never seen a 135  like bootlegger said take a pic close enough to tell the tread. | | | | Apr 2nd, 08, 09:56 PM | | Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Virginia

| Dunlop = Crap.
In my Honest opinion.
Not to offend... but every set of dunlops I've ever had were junk. Ended up in the scrap pile within a month of buying em due to punctures that couldn't be fixed, or bald from mild riding. | | | | Apr 3rd, 08, 06:34 AM | | Super Moderator STAFF Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Crossville,TN

| I had them on my grizzly when it was new. I had 50 miles on the bike when I drove a rock through the back tire and couldn't fix it. I took them off real quick. | | | | Apr 3rd, 08, 05:22 PM | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Texas

Ditto what Ccrane said. Okay for driving down the street but anything more than that will leave you wanting. | | | | Apr 3rd, 08, 06:24 PM | | Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Virginia

| What kind of riding were you guys doing? Most of mine will be trail riding during hunting season and a little bit of joy riding during the off season, but nothing real rough. Will they do ok for that? | | | | Apr 3rd, 08, 08:24 PM | | Super Moderator STAFF Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: moulton,alabama

| they should be fine for you, just keep a plug kit on hand. mine had 4 plugs in one tire when i pulled them off, they do puncture easily. try to stay off jaged rocks, small tree stumps, etc. | | | | Apr 5th, 08, 10:54 AM | | Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Broaddus, Texas

| The stockers on my King are dunlops and the only thing they perform well at are just smooth trail riding and handle great at speed. They are terrible in the mud and don't climb very well either. Within first month they punctured and the wall was paper thin, thank god for slime cause you can't patch it. | | | |
