Dunlop RoadSmart 4 tires are now on sale from RevZilla, about $70 off for the pair.

Called my tire guy in Des Moines today and ordered two sets of Roadsmart 3 tires.
$229 a set.
With sales tax and the rebate the price is $185 a set.

Can't go wrong with that. Great price.

Wow, great price on a great tire.

Sweet! Especially since you’re buying 2 sets

Debbie mentioned maybe we should buy 4 sets. Without the install part of the rebate the price would be $205 for the spare set.
If the price is the same in the spring and they have the rebate I may buy two sets to mount later in the year.

Headed to Des Moines tomorrow for new Roadsmart 3s.
Good thing it's going to be warm since I'll need to sit outside while I wait for the install.

   

My tire is probabably good for 10,000 miles but I changed early because of the chep prices now on the Roadsmart 3 plus I like to change early since the rain always seems to find us.
I had 3/32" thread depth on mine. It started with 8/32"

   


Debbie had 2/32" thread depth.
   

Forgot to look at the bike mileage before posting.
I think I have approx 49,000 miles and Debbie around 47.000.
Front pads look good with 4 mm of pad thickness. I think that's what the rear Carbone Loraine pads had new.
   

Our bikes usually sit for a day when doing a tire change so I like to place a shim between the pads in case I bump the brake lever.
   

I have the feeling I'm going to get a little flax for the dirty front fender

I like the symmetry you have with the 2 bikes. Nice set up!

Hahaha .. I think all the dirt from everywhere else ended up inside that front fender ...

Have just installed Avon Spirit ST tyres om my 1250 at 6450 miles. The bike came with Metzler Z8 but I was never fully happy with them having used Dunlop RoadSmart 3 on the 1200RS.
But got a punchure in rear losing 1.5psi a day so had to change earlier than Planned.
I have gone for Avons as the latest Dunlops RS4 are not yet available plus the Avons are £50 less fitted at main BMW dealer than I paid for RS3 20 months ago.
Talking to Avon users at my local biker cafe nobody had anything but praise for Avons.
I was happy on greasy wet roads riding the 40 miles home as a start.
Will give you all an up-date when roads warm and dry. Plus when out of Lockdowns so we can ride more than a couple of miles.

Looks like a good tire and available in the US as well. Looking forward to your further feedback.

Received my first $60 rebate today. They estimated 8 to 10 weeks but it only took 4 weeks.
I requested the 2nd rebate five days after the first one and when I checked the status I see the card is in the mail.

The 2nd $60 rebate card arrived today.
$120 for a couple minutes on the computer is not bad

Lee, I will pm you my Christmas list so you know what to get me.

Make sure you get something without leaking calipers. I think the 310 models are okay.

Stewart, the service manager at Morton's BMW (Fredericksburg, VA) talked (a lot) about taking the R1250RS with Roadsmart IVs to VIR where he helps instruct an annual training/track day. Said they were amazing. I don't know; Morton's put on Dunlop Q3s on my old K1300S and it was a religious experience. I'm not a wear-em-down-to-the-cords rider, just the opposite, so my mission is to wear out whatever the heck BMW put on my bike until I can justify the Q3s. Still, Stewart insists the Roadsmarts IV are just as good...

Any reason to go to VIR is a good enough one for me
