Dunlop new Roadsmart replaces D220

[MKO]

I just read a test on the new Dunlop Roadsmart tires that replace the D220 at: https://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page...5934&Page=1

They got a favorable review. Has anybody tried them out yet? How do they compare to the Pirelli dual-compound tires in dry and wet performance as well as treadwear/mileage?

Here is what we have so far: Haulin Ashe. Amazingly enough I don't think he has them worn out yet.

I just installed mine yesterday and give them a full 10 out of 10 rating so far. Of course it will be another month or so before I can try them out here in New England but so far they are flawless.

Thanks.

I think I'm going to take a chance on them. I am not happy with the side traction on my Diablo Stradas.

Compared to what?

Just curious since I'm running the Stradas.

The reviews I have read Say they are great in the rain. I just bought a couple sets of D220's from cycle gear ( getting rid of old stock. $79 and $99 ) I fugure I'll use them latter this year.

Has anyone Run the D220's?

Compared to the stock Bridgestones they don't seem to inspire the same confidence at the cornering limits. I have had success with metezlers on other bikes, striking a nice dry-wet-mielage balance, but I want to kick it up a notch with one of the new dual compound tires.

Hmmm, that's quite interesting. Most people rate the Stradas considerably better in the cornering / stickiness as compared to the OE 'stones.

Are you running the E-spec Strada, or the off-the-rack Strada. I've tried both, and the difference is monumental! The garden variety Strada scared me to death in the corners and wore flat down the middle in 1k miles. The E-spec was a HUGE improvement in both categories.

I have 220's on now great handling only down side is 5000 miles and they are gone. Better grip, same mileage as my bridgestone 020's
