Well since last time, i've not had hance to get out two up in the dry. or get out in the dry for that matter! I did go out for a head clearing thrash on sunday night/monday morning at about 1:30am in the ****ing rain and to be fair if i still had the bt014's on i'd probably be in a ditch as we speak! It's safe to say the head clearing did the job as i now have an awesome girlfriend!

Excellent! Maybe Dunlop should advertise the relationship healing properties of their tyre on their website!

Glad you kept it out of the ditches.

I had a pair fitted yesterday. Obviously feel great com[pared to the Z6's that came off. But then they had a profile like a 20p piece!

They are very confidence inspiring though, even though scrubbing in at present.

Will keep everyone posted on how they come on.

i lost a perfectly servicable D220 rear to a sharp stone, and had a roadsmart fitted in stead, definately more comfortable in the wet and dry and far more confidence inspiring than the tyre it replaced, will likely replace the front with the same when it needs it.

BiKE mag did a back to back test of the PR2, the RoadSmart and the Bridgstone sports touring tyre (BT014?) - they found the roadsmart the best in all catagories, drawing with the PR in some but beating it in others

I expect it was a BT021 (replaced BT020).

The BT014 is more of a sports tyre.
