Dunlop Roadsmart 3
« on: May 23, 2016, 06:21:46 AM »
The later addition to the Roadsmart Range

I have just read a report in Motorcycle Sport & Leisure and  it seems that the Dunlop RS3 could well be the tyre of choice over Angel Gts and PR4s, improved longevity better grip in both wet and dry   

Is anyone using them on their GTR/Connie yet ?

Wait, you're saying C14's and Harleys are different?

Can't imagine them having better grip AND longer life than the PR4 ......
I love my set of PR4s so if anyone had the PR4s and tries these RS3s and says they're better I am almost going to call it mandatory for me to try them next 8)

Good point and that has been my philosophy  over the years, but as things progress and products improve its no bad thing to look into new products

I had PR3s on a previous 2011 GTR and they performed well, but did suffer a puncture (I'm not going to go down that route now ;)) and I believe that the PR4 is even better than the PR3 which would have made it my first choice for a replacement when I'm due new tyres, but since the release of Dunlop's  RS3 I'm wondering if there's a new/better kid on the block

Just a thought  :)

I'm having trouble finding them here as well. It looks like there are "fresh off the press". That could be promising since the PR4s are a few years old and tech has advanced since then. I will be looking at these and the PR4s when it comes time for me to change.

Just remember it is now "PR4" AND "PR4-GT".  Two different tires but in the same family.  The GT variant has stronger sidewalls and higher load capacity, and it is what is "recommended" for our model (although both will certainly work).
