Dunlop Roadsmart Tyres

Ok so i know marti seemed to like these tyres last time i spoke to him and thought they were better than M3s .So has anyone else here tried any or know of anyone who has used them ???

[z900/zx9]

Ok so nobody else used these Looks like i will be sticking with the M3s,not a bad thing by anymeans i love them but seem to be getting less and less ks out of them..I just wont switch without a fair bit of feedback on a new tyre

Compared to what????


Mal, I don't get it? You've seen Roadsmarts used on a slower and heavier bike carrying more turn speed and you've seen the lean angles the roadsmarts carry, you know I've already exceeded the life of the M3's with barely half worn and yet you still won't try them??? I don't get it??? What has to happen for you to be convinced???

I will state as a fact once again! They grip better than an M3! They handle better than an M3! They are better in the wet than an M3! They last twice as long as an M3!

Which part of "Hosed you on the last ride, you on M3's me on Roadsmarts" Don't you get?? Surely if a tyre can lean further and carry more turn speed without slipping then it must as a pure by product have grip yeah????

What's going on here is an old prejudice against Dunlops. If you ride on those tyres and come back with criticisms, then it's in your head and not the rubber!!!!!

Well after a good run today marti is spot on these tyres didnt move even through some damp patches at reefton,and went even better in the black spur with wet roads Thers a little more effort to tip into corners but if they wear longer than the m3s then this will be my new tyre of choice.Previously with dunlops they have been a bit wiggly when they are on the edges,not so with these puppies

Yeah Yeah ,I just like to do my homework and lets face it tyres that cheap ,and dunlops to boot that are that good well who wouldnt question it .So how many ks have yours done so far ????

[Strika]

Not sure zachary! At a gestimate, maybe 4500 possibly 5000 so far. By looking at them if they wear at the same rate, then I would envisage a similiar life to the Pilot Road 2's! It's a toss up between the two tyres, with the PR2's having a little more life possibly and the Roadsmarts having better bump absorption and feel. So it's a toss up. I'll fit whichever I can get at the right price as either one will work well.
