Dunlop vs. Bridgestone - SoFlaSportbikes.com

Soooo, I am not yet an extreeeeme sportbiker, but am getting some great coaching from a friend in Tampa. Anyways, my Bridgestones were wearing out too fast since most of my miles are boring commuter miles versus the kickass riding I get to do with my friends up in Tampa... I just ordered some Dunlop RoadSmart tires to replace the Battlax tires I've been runnin' since day one.

Any feedback on this? I assume that the Dunlop RoadSmarts have a harder compound in the center for all those damn commuter miles, yet have the softer compound on the edges for the blessed days of riding on the lean....

The Roadsmarts will last a lot longer and handle pretty much anything short or a track day. Also about the best tire in the rain

I'm a Bridgestone guy and there's too many choices with Battlax.
Dunlops are good but not better that the Jap's tire manufacture.
