Wow good thing it stayed inflated. I thought Dunlop had fixed that problem with their tires?

What is the production date on the tire? Would be interesting to see if it is current production or from when the problem was identified.

I ran a set of Roadsmart 2's on my last ST and they wore great and handled well....overall they were very good tires. As I understand, the problems were with the first generation Roadsmarts.

It has been a great tire since the recall. I'm on my second set.

no ga mtns./ft. laud fla.
was it Roadsmart 1 or 2.I've run at least 6 sets of them with no problems and found them to out handle and not cup nearly as much as the pilots.
Over all a great tire with stiff side walls that give me confidence laying her over scraping parts.All tire manufactures have a bad run and you hear all
kinds of claims but I will keep running them and have gone to a 180x55x17 for the rear and like it so far.
