RIDE SMART
Dunlop says its new Sportmax Roadsmart III tire is made for“ performance touring,” offering exceptional mileage and high-level performance throughout its lifetime. Independent tests have shown Roadsmart IIIs to last longer and, even after thousands of miles, offer significant advantages in terms of wet and dry grip, steering response and compliance over competing brand-name tires. Designed to handle the power and weight of modern sport tourers, they feature a new tread pattern, sidewall design and compounds, as well as Dunlop’ s Multi-Tread design, with a high-mileage compound in the middle and a high-grip compound on the shoulders.
