The new Michelin Road 6 tire ... better than the Dunlop Roadsmart 4?

I am curious as to how the Dunlop RSIV reacts to tar snakes. The RSIII was a fine tire but I definitely did not care for the twitches in feedback when crossing them while leaned over. Get on wet/damp tar snakes and I felt a crash was imminent. Same kind of experience on Metzelers. The Michelins don't seem to notice them. I say all this because the favored pavement "fix" in my area is to slather on the tar.

I have had the same experience with tar snakes: Dunlops RSIII twitches and slides, Michelins R4 do not. I have not had Dunlops RS4 yet.
