- A review of the Dunlop Roadsmart 3 tyre - can a sports touring tyre really cut it on track?
(For the avoidance of doubt, that sticker at 04:02 for Donington - I know it says 2016, but it was actually 2020. I guess they were just using up some old stickers.)
Much appreciate the review! I have these fitted on my bike and was curious if they were worthy of a track day as a beginner rider. I’ve loved my RSiii’s and now that I know they are worthy of a track day or two, I love them even more!
I've done 3 track days so far on my pair of Dunlop Roadsmart 3's - fitted to my ducati monster 1200s, running near the top of beginners group. No issues with them!
Damn I wish I could EVER get anything close to those kinds of miles! All I ride is twisty courses and my tires dont last for CRAP! I get so jealous when I hear people talking of the thousands of miles they get on the same tire I have had. My record mileage for rear tire was 1300miles and that last couple hundred I should NOT have done they were that worn. My OE Bridegestones I only got 600miles to the wear bar on the rear then tried to milk it to 1000 but my conscience and will to survive would not allow me to do over 900miles. I dont do any burn outs or stupidity like that just a lot of cornering which apparently destroys tires like crazy
This is awesome. I've switched to sport touring tyres a couple yeats ago because I'm not fast enough to get the most out of slicks yet. Decided when i could slide the rear comfortably under control then I'll swith to sport tyres. Then when I can lap within seconds of each lap then I'll go slick
Really nice tyre on the road
How do you know when theyll go? Whats the feeling like that you mentioned
You feel them squirm or even give a tiny slide when you're leant over, and at that point I assume that I am at the limit. But they never felt like they were going to wash out on me suddenly. These were great tyres, as were the SportSmart 3s. I've since moved on to Michelin Power 5s, which I have yet to see the limit of.
Just finished my first trackday on RSIII and didnt feel the squirms (I’m a novice). Do the SportSmarts 3 have the same feeling though when close to limit?
