[QUOTE="sapest, post: 1448450, member: 29340"] Way back in 2019 I posted tire comments about Dunlop Roadsmart's, and promised a future look at Road 5 and Roadtec's. [URL='https://www.fjrforum.com/threads/the-dunlop-roadsmart-iii-compared-to-michelin-pr2-pr4gt-dilemma.174366/post-1423701']Here[/URL] Then COVID came along and well you know. Fast forward to now - my current tires are a pr of about to be replaced Roadtecs. These tires have about 12,500 km's (~7700 miles) Frt - has about 3mm of tread left. [ATTACH type="full" alt="RoadtecFrt.JPG"]2248[/ATTACH] Rr - has about 4.5mm of tread left [ATTACH type="full" alt="RoadtecRr.JPG"]2249[/ATTACH] Most of the mileage has ben day to day commuting, a few trips of a week or less. One up only, I would consider my riding style as easy on tires. Pressures have been 40/42, watched pretty closely. The frt is starting to do something funky, but nothing like past Michelin's. (The Road 5's that took me home from Ottawa (see past post above) lasted about 9000 km's with the usual (for me) frt cupping) I like these tires a lot, they lasted longer than any Road family tire I have used, they are great in the rain, and cheaper than Michelins as well. I am replacing these with the 'HWM' variant. Taking a long trip to Key West. Will see if 'HWM' adds anything. -Steve [/QUOTE]
