I, like so many said I would not run the RoadSmart after seeing the problems folks were having with them. Then I messed up in So. Mo. and found myself in need of replacement wheels.
I found another ABS 1100 and picked it up. I didn't look real close at the tires other than to check the life they had left in them. Turned out they were both the dreaded RSs. Okay, I thought that since they had survived in the desert heat when new, they were prolly not in the "bad " run that was causing all the trouble. I went ahead and wore them out.
I got my free replacement and it has been fine. In fact for the miles, 13K I think, I am impressed that the tire still has a round profile. PR2s and Z6s have both given up the outsides and left a very noticeable raised center. Maybe I needed to run more than the 42# I always kept them at.This tire looks great.
Is this common among the other riders that are running free DLops?
