Dunlop TrailMax Mission Tires

Just back from the 2023 BRPR, just a little rain lot's of twisty roads & no issues. Very impressive tires.
Here's what they look like with 3,300 miles.

Looking real good!

[BillGsa]

They'd look even better on your S ?

The thought has occurred to me from time to time.

I have them on my GSA now and have been wonderful. Love them.

Apparently Dunlop is upping its game - both street and adventure.. The big sport touring guys on the forum are using Dunlops and are happy.

There is a new one from Dunlop called the Trailmax Raid which is more of a 50/50 tire than the Missions. Available only in the Euro market for now.
You know Dunlop is owned by Goodyear and is the only tire manufactured in the USA. Thats right, in NY.

These TMM tires are farking magical. They hook up well on a thousand miles of gravel road after putting over 5,000 miles on them and they look like they're going to get me back home that will be 11,000 miles on them. I've never gotten half that mileage out of any 50/50 tire.

[BillGsa]

I've never gotten that kind of mileage from any tire, can't wait to put them on the new bike

[cabnfvr]

If BOTH of you get 11k I'm putting them on the S.

I just swapped my last set of TMM's out at 11,500 miles and they probably could run another 1000 slippery.
miles.

Headed out next week for a 7000 mile jaunt. Will report on how the Trailmax Missions hold up for two-up travels in a few week!

UPDATE: After 6500 miles the Missions have 9mm tread left. They do NOT like hot tar snakes, but then, neither do I.
UPDATE # 2: Total miles 8600, tread left is 9/32 for front and rear. They started life at 13/32 R and 11/32 F.

As a mileage tire they are excellent. I think a true sport-touring tire would be slightly better on road but we've never gone over 5500 miles on Michelin Road 4 or over 6500 miles on Dunlop Roadsmart 4. The Dunlop Trailmax Missions allow us to take a cross country trip without having to plan a tire stop along the way. And the GS "needs" a tire that can do a gravel road if one so desires.

The new bike has Anakee Adventure tires on it and I have less than 100 miles on them but boy! are they noisy (compared to the Missions). I'm seriously considering re-shoeing the bike with the Missions at the 600 mile service.

UPDATE #2: The Trailmax Missions now have over 10,500 miles on them! We will get another set put on before THCR.
