Dunlop Roadsmart Mileage

Post by swamper »

Just noticed my Roadsmart rear tire is showing the ware bars. Only 5000 miles. Kind of thought I'd be getting 7-8 out of it. What are you guys getting on your rear tires????????????

About 8500 out of a Z6.

Oh dear- about 4000-5000 miles for any brand. Bridgestone Battlax BT021 at present. I think US and UK tyre compounds are different.
Got a Z6 to go on the rear when I'm down to the wear markers.

Not very many here using the Dunlop Road Smarts, I guess because the mileage I'm gettting out of them.
