Dunlop MX53 is never good tyre at any track, MX34 always better even hard pack. Maybe this is more in that direction.
Can Dunlop bring back the D756 already....please?!?!
Was the 756 that good or is it just nostalgia that it was? Surely there is a reason they done make it anymore?
Looks just like a 34 but with shorter center lugs which may be more like that on a mx 33 but with the relief cut. Also looks like the very outer lugs are spaced tighter than on a 34.

The D756 combo just worked everywhere here in Michigan. Since Dunlop discontinued the D756, I have not found any of their newer front tires to have the same level of grip or side grip especially on off-camber corners. Of course this is my experience, but those tires were my absolute favorite.
The D756 was passable virtually everywhere except on extreme ends of the spectrum, almost an all terrain tire.
And the d773 front. The 756 lesser known, better companion.
I have a 756 i found online on my 2014 yz450f, its lasted a season and a half and hadn't chucked any side knobs. Is as least as good as a geomax front. But lasts forever basically. The 773f is on another 450 of mine and is hands down better than any other front tire available. Haven't tried a factory spec mx34 yet. But will be soon.
When they discontinued the 756 I switched over to the Bridgestone m404 and loved it. For whatever reason it seems like not many people run that tire or even Bridgestone's in general.
I moved to Pirelli MX32s after the 756.. I miss those Dunlops for sure. They worked good on hardpack and soft dirt.
403/404 spring/summer/fall and 203/204 in winter, combos were my favorite after the 756.
I run the Bridgestone Battlecross x10 in the rear up here in New England and love it on all surfaces.
I sorta liked the MX53 front, but never ran the rear.
I run the 53's front and rear in the desert and high country of Colorado. I really like them but each to their own.
I like the 53 front when the track is dried out & hardpack later in the day…I have used the 53 rear but where I ride the tracks start out soft then get hard as the day goes on….the 34 rear handles it well…I have spare wheel set…sand/ mud/ deep rip…14 rear with 34 front…. Harder/ drying out I”ll switch to 53 front with 34 rear….I”m not entirely happy with the 34 front, there are times when, at lean in, on intermediate dirt, it feels very loose and does not inspire confidence..I welcome a new front tire from Dunlop…and yes, the 756 front tire was an awesome tire…
Especially the 756RR
The m59 front is like a cheat code
Thats it im buying a m59. I been looking at them they are very close in style to a 756 or 773

Have you tried the X31? It's nearly identical with a more durable compund than the m59 with a design in the tread instead of solid knobs like the m59. It's also cheaper.
Try the M59 with the X31 rear.
I raced the X31 rear at Washougal on Saturday.
Bridgestone opened up the center row of knobs, so you get a little more aggressive bite than the X30.
Washougal starts out soft, and turns to hardpack pretty quickly. The X31 rear works well on both and I liked it at the local sand track a week ago.
So far, the X31 is the best rear tire I've tried, so I grabbed a few of the X31 front tires.
I'd like to test the X31 front tire vs the M59.
I did have a x31 and was iffy on lean on hard terrain.
