I have both the 530 and 990. 530 is for the nasty stuff. 990 is for any trip with triple digit or greater mileage.
If I had to replace them with one bike I would likely go for the 690. The 990...

Too much power...
I've used them on thumpers (DRZ, XRL) and they've worked good. Riden aggressively on my ol' DRZ-434 I was able to crack/tear knobs, so I'd think the 990 would shred the tire in short order.

I'm another fan of the Trackmaster II. Works great in the soft stuff and wears ok on the hard stuff. I've used them on my DRZ and EXC both with excellent results.
Just make sure to take it easy...
