Dunlop RoadSmart II tyres - Aussie_imp - 07-22-2014
12000 odd km service on the Cb and some new tyres to boot. On the reliable say so of my mechanic I have had fitted Dunlop RoadSmart II's. Front 110/80, Rear 150/70. Can't find the 140/70s anymore. Only had them on for a day and because it has been raining and damp I've not really broken them in properly. First impressions are good but will know more after a decent dry weather run. Some photos to follow:

Good choice mate. Regarded as being an excellent all round tyre. Interested to hear your views. Did they replace D205s?
Cheers
RE: Dunlop RoadSmart II tyres - Aussie_imp - 07-22-2014
Yes, they replaced the original OEM D205's. Mine was an 05/2010 build so it was about time. Just need a dry day to get out and about in the Adelaide hills for a decent scrub in and ride report.
Edit. Ah, I see your write up where you have fitted some PR3's in 160/60. I had those on my VFR, nice tyres. I didn't think the OEM's were too bad so hopefully these new tyres will be just as good or an improvement. We shall see...

Are these radial tires?

I have had Dunlop Road Smart on my CB1000 and really liked them.
When they went to Road Smart 2 the size I wanted (170) was no longer made.
I could have gone to a 160 but went to an Avon 180 instead, this tire looked much better on the bike than a 160 and the grip is great.
I probably will put a 150 Road Smart on my CB 1100 when the Bridge Stones are worn.
I think that the 150 is more in line with tire recommendations for our rim than the 160 although people seem to like the 160 Michelin.

For some reason, I don't think we can get the 150/70 here in the States; only the 160/60's.
RE: Dunlop RoadSmart II tyres - Houtman_imp - 07-22-2014
I think that you are right, I have not seen them on their Web site but hopefully they might come here.

Good info. Would like to see more tire options for our CB.

+1. You'd think with a 5 year run that someone would offer up tires besides oem
