Strengths and weaknesses

A durable, cost-effective off-road tyre for green laners on lightweight singles.

Where it's good

Where it falls short

Based on aggregated owner feedback and independent tyre reviews, not a single source.

Holloway ratings

Seven separate scores, not one blended number, since a tyre that's brilliant in mud can be miserable on a wet motorway link, and vice versa.

Bikes the Dunlop D952 fits

10 bikes in the Holloway Bike Finder run a stock size this tyre is made in, 3 at both ends.

Matched on the bike's standard tyre sizes only. Some model years and trim levels use different sizes, so check your sidewall or handbook first. Our size list for this tyre can miss sizes, so a bike shown for one end may still find its other size in the maker's chart.

Remember: a tyre's real character also depends on how worn it is, what pressure it's run at, and the bike it's fitted to. A great green-lane tyre on the wrong pressure, or worn past its best, can behave nothing like its rating suggests. Check the lane's own hazards and current conditions before you go, not just a tyre score.
