Tyre are so devisive, but if you find a tyre you like, it will transform your ride! This week after riding with the Dunlop RoadSmart 3 tyres Toby talks about them while touring in Spain and Portugal!
I had Dunlop Roadsmart III fitted to my Yamaha Tracer 900 and in all weathers never gave me cause for concern. Great grip and balanced handling in the dry, cold and wet. Covered over 10000 miles on them and still had some life in them as I changed them for another new set prior to going on a long tour. Excellent value for money in my opinion.
I remember when the original Dunlop Roadsmarts first came out and I put them on my VFR and was amazed how good they were. Had a few sets of them then the Roadsmart 2 came out was very disappointed in them, felt poor in the wet and didn't wear as well. Then came the '3' and they were fantastic, stunning grip wet or dry and excellent mileage. I'm considering replacing my 1150gsa with a 1200rt-p and came across your channel. All very good and subscribed.
I have had these on my ZZR1100 for over 10,000 KMs and they have been fantastic. I live in Australia and they cope very well in the heat. I would definitely recommend them.
I’ve got the Dunlop roadsmart 4’s on my gen 2 s1xr they are amazing tyres, super grippy even after 4000 miles and still look like new. warm up quickly, quite and good on the brakes.
Ive just changed from Metzler Roadtec 01 which are oem on the Honda, as the front went badly out of shape. Gone back to what i know Avon Spirit ST, had really good experiences with Avon whatever tyre choice ive used.
Hi guys, interesting review…I’ve had my rtp for almost 18 month now & it came with nearly new RS3’s. 6k miles later & I’m due to change now. Interestingly though I’m not overly impressed in wet conditions so was looking to change to something like the pilot 6’s….Now you’ve got me thinking again! 🤔
I may try these once my Roadtech 01se’s rears have worn out. The fronts have worn prematurely and ruined the handling. Softer edges have worn so it drops into corners at slow speed and ruined confidence in them.
I have mich road 6 , Never had a problem . Having said that I think on any tyre if you get on a black snake you’ll feel it especially on a bend . I think with a heavier bike you’ll have more contact with the asphalt ? 🤷🏼♂️ I paid 328€ fitted for both Mich 6 not cheap 😡
Dont know about de roadsmart3. Had the michelin 6, after 7k, they were flat (lot of highway klicks) I now have the contitrail attack 3 on the GSA. They are wow. Just over 12000km. And still perfect. Maybe an idea for a test.🤔
I had the Dunlop Roadsmart 3's on my BMW R1200RS; great tyres and lasted about 11,000miles. I now have Michelin Road 6's on my BMW R1250GS, after taking off the awful Bridgestone A41's. On my GS, no problems with drifting left, right or another unexpected handling problems. I've covered 8,000miles with them, recently took the bike with pillion and luggage to Tuscani, Italy. We had some heavy rain but mostly hot dry roads, the Road 6's were amazing. I estimate the Road 6's will last 12,000miles. Out of interest I might try the Metzeler SE01's next time.
I have the road 6's on my F800GT, They've done just over 4 thousand miles of problems. They originally had Metzler 01 which I could not get on with. Not tried the Dunlops out, but I am looking at an R1200RS (2016) so.....
Another question Toby , ferry costs because you use them a lot , I’ve just looked to come back to Uk and almost 1000€ return! Another note 25 c here today oh yes 💪🏼 ride safe .
Wish it was 25 degrees here too! Yep the return ferry is really expensive. Roscoff to Plymouth is cheaper and quicker but you have to ride through France. Mind you France is lovely to ride through too :)
@@RiderCamTV yes i did that a few years ago Portsmouth to Caen then rode down to Spain 1200 kilometers in a day and rained 70% of the time oh and the peajes ! You pay same as a car 😡 exspensive but a adventure on my Multistrada 😂🤣 . Now am on a triple black 1250 💪🏼 oh yes .
Does your bike pull to the left with the michelins? I picked up a bike with the 6s and have wondered why it drifts to the left with hands off the bars.
@@dreamcrusher112 I have had the same problem in the past but only on certain bike/tyre combo, usually finding the right tyre that best suits does the trick, might be worth asking around on the forums? Cheers buddy 👍
