Dunlop Roadsmart IV Tires 10,000-Mile Test (Rider Magazine)

[TriangleRider]

Just saw this thread and it makes me pleased as I just ordered a set of RSIV today in advance of my trip to Abingdon VA next week. I've been using Michelin Road 5s but Dunlop is currently running a $100 rebate if you buy a set and installation from a Dunlop dealer so that sealed the deal for me. Then I see this thread and now I'm very happy with my choice. Thanks Darrell for the article and GG for posting it here. ?

I am on my second set and will put on a third set when these are done.  I don't get nearly the mileage as Darrell, but still very happy.

I doubt that many will get the same mileage as Darrell but the one constant among all who like this tire is the evenness of the wear and the minimal cupping, if any. How was your experience in that regard? 

I get very even wear, very little / no cupping and long life, on top of solid grip characteristics, and that is with the RS IIIs. Have not had the RS IVs on yet but I understand they are even better.

I just picked up a new set of RSIV's a couple of weeks ago. $50 rebate, since I'm taking care of the mount/balance chores. This makes set #3.

This mantra will be forever credited to you, Bruce!

I have about 7K on my first set of RS4s and am impressed by their wear characteristics and lack of cupping. Really like these tires, and will likely replace with another set of same when these wear out.
