My first dual compound tire was the Dunlop RoadSmart about 10 years ago. I doubt I will ever get another single compound sport touring tire ever again. Right now my wallet continues to vote for the Dunlop RoadSmarts but any other manufacturer with dual compound is not out of the question.

My 2016 RS came with Michelin Pilot Road (dual comp) and they were great, but after that, it was always Dunlops RS. My 2020 RS came with Metzeler Roadtec Z8 (single comp) and the leaning performance was noticeably reduced, I recently replaced them with Dunlops RS's.

If Dunlop continues to make the RS3 for $100 less than the RS4 and the Pilot 5's, I'll probably continue buying RS3's. I get the feeling that Dunlop is trying to get us used to Pilot 5 prices for their RS4's.
