Glad you enjoyed the pics. Darrell would be proud of me, lol. I had a chance to pitch the Dunlop RS IV to the RT rider. He showed me a pic of his completely shot Z8, threads and all! At the moment he has the Road 5's mounted. With less than 3k, his front profile is already flattening out quite a bit.

Appreciate you promoting those RS IV tires to other riders. They are a bit more expensive then the RS III but the extended tire mileage and improved handling makes it a easy decision for many riders to experience the new technology with this model of tire. Until we get that RS V the RS IV will have to do.
And as others have mentioned those photos make many of us wonder why we reside where we do. Our first snow is happening today and it will stay as temps are not going to take it away until around April 1.

The Front Road 5 is a short life tire. I'll never buy another one.
