Nice find Nick, I take it you will be considering these once the stock Pirellis are past their due date?

I was, but have decided to give the Dunlop Roadsmart a try, getting them fitted on Monday. I wanted to try a dual compound tyre and have read some good reports about the Dunlops.

Tony,

I've done about 1600 miles, theres still tread left on the back, but it's very square. I'm changing both, although I'll hang onto the front, it might come in useful at some point.

Yes they are and are very similar in price, but I thought I'd be a good Brit and stick with the Dunlop's. Having said that, I have no idea where Dunlop makes it's bike tyres, think the old factory in Birmingham only does aircraft tyres now.
