Dunlop D606 tyres in the UK
 

On my DR-Z400 in the USA, I've been very happy with Dunlop D606 tyres for their price, long life and performance both on and off road, so I thought I'd get more of the same now I'm in the UK. But my local tyre shop tells me that they are not available. I'm not sure if this is just a regional thing or if they really are discontinued (lots of US mail-order places still list them, but I have yet to find any UK stock). Does anyone know of a UK supplier? Or if I can't get the D606, is there a naturual successor?

Ive been out of the UK for 10 years, but on the Dunlop UK website it looks like the D603 is the most agressive street legal tyre they do. Ive not used them so cannot comment, would be worth googling for reviews - or just use Pirelli MT21's :)

D606s are definitely not discontinued - manufacturing is still happily taking place in Indonesia and I fitted a new one to my bike only 5 weeks ago. However, given the limited opportunities for offroading in the UK I would be surprised if there was much of a market for them, and therefore the manufacturer would probably not bother with importation
