Yes more tyres

Hi all just signed onto forum & own K5 650, i've been reading all the threads on tyre choice and have noticed no mention of the new Dunlop road smart tyres. Has none of you guys (and girls) tried a pair yet?
I hate the 220's to the point they are going though theres lots of life left in them.
I slid down the road in Jan, 200 yards from my house with no warning what so ever. I was taking it steady (cold tyres & 3 degrees).
Anyway the worst tyre i've ever had, i've been riding 15 years.

Someone has mentioned the new roadsmart somewhere, and I think they like them. I think the 220 get's a bit of a thumbs down in general, most new rubber seems pretty good from all accounts/reviews. Have had fun on Pirelli Diablo Stradas myself and am now branching out to other rubber. Finally.

fitted a set last week, only done approx 70 miles but they defo feel ok

will let you know how they go in a few hundred miles

Try here good sir.......

Seem nice to me and alleged by Dunlop to have higher mileage ability than the dreaded D220s which did last very well. I had almost 9000 out of my rear.

Or try the Quallifiers awsome grip but let them warm up first!!

Thanks for the info guys. I know MCN liked the road smarts followed by mich pilot road 2s.
I like the look of the bridgestone 021 as i had 020s and liked them alot.
