Can You Take Triumph Tiger Sport 660 Off-Road With Dunlop Mutant Tires?
Nice to see you do this and try. Imho a Tiger 660 could be similar in offroading to doing it on a Vstrom. Yes the Vstrom has 19" wheels but its heavier and less suspension and I think lower. Iæve also seen people offroad the Kawasaki Versys.
Tyre is key.

I guess you don't want to mess up the great handling and sportiness from the Tiger 660 on road... but the more aggressive you go with tyres the better it will do. Especially on the front.
Have you considered something like the Pirelli MT60? they are still more road bias but a bit more aggressive for the front. I ran Pirelli Scorpion Rally tyres on some bikes and they where great on the road as well but really not bad in gravel. Not sure if they come in a 17" front though.

Anyway - nice to see and keep posting :)
