Dunlop Roadsmart

I have a half worn Conti Road attack at the Front, and a squared off@limit(but with no chicken strips, haha commuting + 240 motorway miles to get it home) road attack at the rear.

Do I replace with another Conti road/sport attack or fit a Roadsmart, and then fit a matching front later?

Well... Hard to say. Do you like the road attack? If you really do like it then go for one of those. If you fancy trying dual compound then go for the Roadsmart. IMO dual compound is the way to go though

I do like the road attacks, they have a nice tread pattern (a must down at the pub..) and warm up well, and I've yet to have them slide apart from 80% throttle, in first, on a broken, bumpy, cambered piece of tarmac in a town I've never heard of. They seem slow to turn in, but then again the back is squared like a bi**h so that's probably why.

I use my bike to go to work and tend to do fast A-road work most of the time, but occasionally I stumble across a piece of road that's bliss, or I go for the Bucket Shop run, to the H-Cafe, up to the next roundabout towards Oxford, and you can either go left to Abingdon, or right to somewhere, and that piece of road is just bliss. My record is 1 minute 48 seconds, haha. Anyway, I need something that grips like a bast*** and yet won't square off from commuting, and has to be good in the rain.

TBH I'd go for Pilot Power 2ct but they price is just bleh.. and I'd start taking the train to work.

Pilot power 2ct would be a waste for commuting. Pilot Road 2's would be better. Roadsmarts are Dunlop equivelent. Id say go for one of those. They wont square off as fast as conventional tyre's and have great grip!

6000 miles:

I recently fitted Roadsmarts to my SV and have noticed some locking up under heavy braking from high speed. Never noticed it with my BT-021's.

So basically they give better grip and are better at stopping your bike?

Are you actually complaining about this?

Front or rear lock up?
