With Dunlop RoadSmart original now being discontinued, might be time to look at the 2.

Dunlop Roadsmart II Sport Touring Motorcycle Tire - YouTube

Dunlop have sent me this fitment guide for my bike.



Interesting that they list three tyres which might be considered more "sport" than "sport touring" in, Sportmax GPR-300, Sportsmart Mk3 & Qualifier Core.

As has been highlighted elsewhere, they are all the same speed & load rating. Mileage might be variable.

For comparison, this is the original RoadSmart tread pattern.

Job done, new tyres fitted today, current mileage 43,431.

I ran the Road Smart 3's on my last RTP and thought they were great. As good as the Michelin 4's they replaced and substantially less expensive.

I've had RoadSmart IV GT's on for 1500 miles now, the grip in the dry is fantastic, there is very little difference in the wet. They turn in to a corner quicker that the Metzeler Roadtec 01's that were fitted previously and give more grip.

Did 5,000 miles on the RS2's last year. Just checked the remaining serviceable tread depth to the TWI's in the centre of each tyre. Front = 1.5mm, Rear = 3.0mm. Quiet impressed with the tyre wear, I normally change the tyres once per year at this kind of mileage.
