Dunlop Trailmax Raid vs Trailmax Mission - An Honest Review

[thughes317]

I have Mutants on my 1290 SAS. It is a great tire for my needs. Probably my new favorite. They ride and handle on pavement better than any tire I can recall. Obviously, they are not a trail tire however they do a respectable job on gravel roads. Much better than say a Michelin Anakee or a Bridgestone. I like them. My other favorite tire is the Dunlop Trailmax Mission which I have on a Tiger 900. Great tire for that bike.

Good to know, because they'll be going on my 1290 when the time comes.

My FJ1200 needs tires currently.
I'm considering putting the "Mutants" on that bike.

I believe they would be a great fit for your FJ.

I have a rear mutant at my door today. Unfortunately it will be spring before I get to try it
I thought the tread looked good for mild trail/gravel
I hope the mileage is above average.

I got the Mission rear mounted. When I got it I thought "Man, this is a heavy, stiff tire." My initial thoughts were confirmed when it came time to mount it. It did not want to pull down into the center and stay, even with my considerable bulk on top of it. Fought it for a good hour before heading out to get some bead buddies. Waited for morning to start again. Started with putting a heater on it. Used the bead buddies and added some strap clamps and blocks to push and pull it in. Toughest tire I've mounted. It also took quite a bit of weight to balance. It is nice to see a tire with an American flag on it.

Let me know how you like the Mutants (if you go with them). I have a set on-deck for when I wear out the Conti TA-3's but that probably won't be until later next season (the Conti's only have @ 1000k miles on them as of now).

Those Mutants do have a funky tread pattern, supposed to be the next best thing to a submarine in the wet.......

What size are the mutants? I don't see either 110/80/19 or 150/70/17 listed.

Looking at your picture, I am impressed with the lack of squaring on the rear. My E07+ squares badly on the rear. 7k on this one

Mine looked like that at 4500 miles
