I switched from Dunlop 756 to Maxxis IT. I am not fast enough to notice the difference - if there is any - but my wallet loves the fact the Maxxis last a lot longer.
IRC M5B on the rear
Bridgestone Gritty/ED11 on the front but don't know if I like it because the front always seems to want to turn under me. Probably will go to a Maxxis SI

X2..... And Mike is way faster than me!
Ya Dunlops just wear to fast. I'll never buy another.
The Maxxis SI rear didn't last to long either. I got six races and seven practices and its done. Going back to the IT rear. Have Bridgestone M201 front in 90/100.
I like this thread.
It seems like everywhere I ride it's rocks, rocks, and more rocks!
The Maxxis IT on the rear works very good and is holding up well.
I have limited time with a M601 Bridgestone 90/100 21 on the front and so far I really, really like it.
I wanted a tire with more beef to absorb the rocks and it does this well.
It sticks well on the hard pack.
I'm no where near good enough too know if it has slowed down the steering at all.
More testing to follow.

I've been very happy with the 756s & 773 this past couple years. Compared to the tires I've used in the past they hook up extremely well. But as far as durability I agree 100% that Dunlops don't keep an edge very long. Back home in the NW I had much better results using Michelin's and IRC's. The Vulcanduro I remember was a well rounded hard pack tire. But in the SE, particularly FL, there isn't any issue keeping cutting edges on Dunlops. With a soil compound like this any tire will last an entire 9-10 month riding season.
