New Tires Being Installed on the RS

[darrell]

My first report to Dunlop on the Roadsmart IV tires.
—————————-
My initial reaction on tire wear is surprising considering the heat, speed and flatter roads I’ve been riding on.

Hard on the outside, soft on the inside?

Something in the Dunlop curing process?

I recall the date of manufacture was within a few months of mounting, but I suppose some oxidation might have occurred before they were mounted.

I know these tires are new as I’m not sure dealers even have them yet. They are manufactured in Japan. I assume they sent me ones from an early warehouse delivery. I have a good relationship with the people I communicate with at Dunlop so will ask them about any curing process changes after I put the next 2000 miles on by sometime late next week. I believe I read they changed the silica content on the RS IV tire.
