New Dunlops anyone?

Post by toolinalong »

The Dunlop "Road Smart" was intro'd in February I believe. Anyone out there ridden on 'em yet?

I have been on Metzler Z6's for the last 3 changes, had Avon's before that, not a lot of difference in grip or longevity, a slight nod to the Metzler's.

Just wonderin'........

I just purchased a set from SW Moto. Great price, no shipping charge. I've only put about 250 miles on them, so the verdict is still out. So far, I really like them. I will be doing about 2,000 mile trip in June to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which should give them a good test.
Let us know your decision, and good luck.

I put a pair on a few months ago and so far, over 3000 miles and I like them. Depending on tread life, they may be my favorite tire. There really is a noticeable difference between the center and edges when they're warmed up. We traction seems good too.

I like the looks of them. Is there a special on them anywhere ? I need to start looking for a deal on tires.
I don't get caught in the rain, I ride in it on purpose.
