The D607's are as good as any tire in the class and will deliver very good mileage and traction. I've used them all. Who ever is giving you tire advice
is deluded. Trust me. But like the Trailwing, the D607 is not much good off road.
Having said that....
The 140 sized MT60 Pirelli is a fine tire, perfect for where your going. The problem is, it won't last long. The MT60 is really a Super Moto tire and is also used as a "Wet" tire in road racing. They stick great, perform really well but wear quickly. You should plan to replace it somewhere near 4000 miles if your lucky. Basically, you made the right choice. The MT60 will turn quicker, as you've noticed, but will be safe and secure.
Keep pressures a bit on the high side (Maybe 38 to 40 psi) for road work.
Lower both down to about 25 psi for gravel, dirt. You won't be sorry.
