Dunlop Mutant Front Tire – 120/70ZR17 58W TL

Dunlop Mutant Tires Front Tire 120/70ZR17 58W TL

Part #: dun45255200

Dunlop Mutant tires don’t fit neatly into one box. Dunlop mixed trail, supermoto, wet race and touring tire ideas, and this is what came out. The 120/70ZR17 is the front, made for street bikes with a 17 inch wheel.

Look at the tread first. It’s an M+S pattern, so it bites in the wet and doesn’t go stiff when it’s cold out. That matters if you ride early or late in the year. Dry roads are fine too, and it still leans in with plenty of confidence.

Inside is a Rayon ply casing. It heats up quick and wears slowly, so you’re not buying tires every few months. The front compound keeps the bike steady at higher speeds, and the multi-tread layout gives you extra grip once you’re leaned over. There’s silica in the rubber as well, plus Dunlop’s four season tech, which helps when the weather flips on you.

It’s a good match if one front tire has to handle commuting, weekend rides and the occasional long trip.
