If you want something a bit more road oriented than the gripster the distanzia is another awesome tire.

Shinko 705s if you prefer reasonably price tires to high-end pricey ones.

+1 to the Shinko 705's for that kind of duty. Just keep the PSI up to 36 for road use. I didn't like the Kenda 761s in the wet.

Yeah, they suck in wet mud and grass, but rock on the Cabot trail in the wet. :P

Looking for a knobby street tire, anyone used the dunlop 606's?

They are supposed to be pretty rough on the street. I am going to try Michelin T63s next on my DR650. I have TKC80s right now, and they are pretty good, but I am looking for something a little more knobby without sacrificing road manners. I beat the crap out of my TKCs on southwood 13 and the 518 this year with no issue.
