Review: Outstanding tire - I have been using Roadsmart 3's for a few years now. They are an outstanding tire as far as grip and wear go. One of the best features is the grip remains the same until you get to the wear bars. They do not have quite as much "Feel" as some other tires, but they are like a steel frame roller coaster. Smooth and completely predictable once you get used to the tire's vibe. I have done many track days on them and the performance was beyond expectations. I ran a set of Roadsmart 4's and did not notice enough difference in the mileage/performance to justify the price differential. I will continue to use these until they stop producing them.
Review: Michelin Raod 5 GT step the hell aside - Let's just start with the fact that I ride faster than your average BMW rider (2009 R1200RT)... Two up this tire is flawless. 100% going to re-order again. And let's just say that my last Dunlop tire was a D207 and that one sucked and cost me $1700 worth of damage to my bike. However, having said that, this tire is AMAZING! The front tire especially is exceptional... Even two up. 100% happy with this set. Riding in Utah and wearing these out on the sides faster than on the flats. Glorious tire... Have I mentioned I liked it? LOL. So much cheaper than the Michelin too... Update: So far I have 3758 miles on the set. Rear tire has a distinct wear pattern. The flat spot isn't particularly "flat" but it's definitely there. The sides are still good with excellent grip at all lean angles. I'm running 38psi front and about 43 psi rear. Just did an 800 mile trip a couple of weeks ago and the tire was practically flawless. I did notice some uneven wear (slight cupping) in the grooves of the rear tire, but I'm pretty sure that's normal especially if you push it pretty hard. Did a 200 mile ride yesterday (5/22/2022) with a local sportbike group and was a solid mid-pack with a passenger. The rear tire was nice and gummy on the sides after a spirited run through a local canyon. I have zero worries about traction. Compared to Michelins PR5GT I did a quick calculation for miles per dollar and where PR5GT came in right around 13.96 miles per dollar, these so far have already exceeded them at 13.97 miles per dollar and I imagine I have about 400-500 miles left before I am done with them. Front tire is barely developing flatish spots on the sides. I'd say it has at least 500 more miles of hard cornering left in it, likely more. Other than running to a store or to work occasionally, all my aggressive serious riding is done with a passenger and I'm not a light guy either. At way less than $300.00 for a set, these are a great deal for what you get. I'd like to compare them to Angel ST but not sure I want to "learn" a new tire. Do I wish the middle wore a bit slower like PR5GT? Sure, but in the miles per dollar category these are already better than the French brand and you don't have to subsidize Michelin's MotoGp contract.
