Dunlop rear tyres

[coullstar]

Needing a new rear for the Superduke and at the moment its has the OE Dunlop 208RR's on. The front still got loads of life left so Ive been looking at the different Dunlops available.

Has anyone tried the Roadsmart ones as they seem to get a good report from the magazines for every situation? I know there a "sports touring" but this bike is not going near a track (at the moment) so I dont care about semi slick etc.

If not it would appear its either a 209 or a Qualifier RR, any experience with either?

I'm running Qualifier RR's on the 675 at the mo, excellent in all conditions, quick to warm up but don't last long even on the Triumph so i'd imagine on the Superduke with you at the helm you'd destroy them.

Missile was running Roadsmarts on his 675 and liked them, was considering them as a replacement for Qualifiers when the time comes.

I've got a roadsmart on the front of the Sprint. Seems to be as good if not better than the Michelin alternative.
Just need to back to wear out so I can go with the full set .......

I had Qualifier RRs on the thou,,,

,,loved em in the summer (on a par with my fave 2cts),,

,,but wasn`t keen on em at all when the road temp was very low - they seemed to lose ALL of their feedback and feel.

Needing a new rear for the Superduke ...

Sound like you are having fun on that wee beastie

How many miles did you manage to squeeze out of the rear?

[coullstar]

Not sure really. Just over 1k I think. I havent ridden the thing more than a mile since mid November since the tyre wore out .

Went for the Roadsmart, everything Ive read about it seem very good. Will report back on what its like.
