Best For
Weekend Trail Explorer
You're out on fire roads and hardpack singletrack most weekends, putting down 50 to 200 miles per ride with a dirt-to-pavement split that leans heavy off-road. The D952 gives you the traction and durability to handle that grind without babying the tire or replacing it every few months.
Perfect Match
Budget-Conscious Dual-Sport Commuter
Your dual-sport pulls double duty — weekday commuter, weekend dirt runner. You need something that survives highway miles and still hooks up when the asphalt ends. The D952 checks both boxes without asking you to pay race-tire prices for a tire you're running on city streets half the time.
Great Match
Aggressive Enduro Racer
If you're competing in technical enduro events and you need maximum bite in gnarly terrain, the D952's durability-first compound is going to leave you wanting more. Step up to a dedicated competition rubber — the D952 is built for versatility, not the podium.

Frequently Asked
It's M-speed rated to 81 mph, so yes — highway use is within spec. That said, this is a dirt-oriented tire at heart, and you'll notice some added noise and vibration above 65 mph compared to a street-focused design. It's perfectly fine for connecting trails or commuting short stretches, but it's not the tire you want for a 200-mile freeway haul.
The D952 is dialed in for intermediate terrain — hardpack, loose dirt, decomposed granite, gravel. Deep mud and soft sand need a more aggressive, widely-spaced knob pattern to self-clean and generate paddle-style traction. If your riding skews heavily toward those conditions, a dedicated soft-terrain tire will serve you better.
Mileage varies with terrain mix and riding style, but a 50/50 dirt and pavement split typically yields somewhere in the 2,500–4,000 mile range. The reinforced knob bases help prevent the sudden chunking you see on softer race compounds, so wear tends to be gradual and readable. Running more pavement than dirt will shorten that window.
The D952 covers common dual-sport sizing — 80/100-21 up front and 100/90-19, 110/90-18, and 110/90-19 in the rear, among others. Cross-reference your bike's OEM tire size from the manual or sidewall before ordering. Not sure what fits? Call us at (714) 516-9059 and we'll sort it out before you drive in.
The D752 is a pure motocross tire — no street-legal rating, compound tuned for race use. The D952 takes the same knob layout and refines the geometry with a larger lug base radius, then pairs it with a compound and casing built for the longer wear cycles and speed demands of dual-sport riding. Same DNA, different job description.
No — the D952 isn't built for competitive MX or closed-course track use. Its compound trades peak grip for durability and street-legal longevity, which is exactly the wrong trade-off for racing. For MX or track days, you want a dedicated race tire with a softer, higher-grip compound.
