I'm replacing the roadsmarts or sumting, the do say dunlop on them. I checked the dates on the tires.
One is an 04 the other an 03. Plenty of tread left but....I'm going PR3s this time. Ran PR2s last year and
they were great. I'm getting the PR3 B for two up riding this time also.

Hi Lee,
I have a Sportmax Roadsmart on the back of the 999. Going for track day number 3 this summer on the 4th Feb. It was on the bike when I bought it and looked to be only a couple of thousand kms old. I have put a further 3000kms on and it still looks mint. Its the first generation roadsmart tyre and its made in Japan. Sumitomo Rubber Company.
Still dont like to push it too hard at track days but the S20 to replace it isnt due in until 2nd week of Feb.
