Yes! They are working very well for me. 110/90-18 front and 150/70-18 rear. I like these sizes better than the oem sizes.

After 11,000 enjoyable kilometres together it was time to move on from my Metzeler Z8s. The front was worn however the rear had plenty of rubber. The rear has been running on a temporary mushroom plug for 8,000 kms so I didn’t mind replacing it before it’s worn out ...
Traditional last dance before changing rubber:

The new Dunlop Roadsmart 4 is available (in Australia) in standard sizes 110/80x18 and 140/70x18. The advertising makes the usual claims of more grip, more miles, and quicker steering ... I just liked the look of the nice round profile and deep sipes / thick tread. Front tyre appears to be slightly smaller diameter compared to the Z8 and the rear is slightly larger diameter - that would contribute to the claimed quicker steering.
Our first date this evening, a short 120kms to scrub them in. We don’t trust each other 100% just yet but I think there’s potential for a solid relationship after we spend some more time together.

Shinks are not made in the right size, and the BS Battleax line are all backordered. I'll be ridin' the Suzi more, I guess.
