Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart III

Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart III sits in the sport-touring motorcycle tyre lane, where grip and mileage have to be balanced instead of pushed to one extreme. By our assessment, that makes it more interesting than a pure track tyre or a soft road-focused tyre, because the job is longer rides with decent road manners and enough stability for spirited use. The trade-off is clear: it will not feel as razor-edged as a race tyre, and it is not meant to be the cheapest, quietest commuter option either. In practice, this kind of tyre is judged by how calmly it holds line, how confidently it handles wet pavement, and how often it asks for replacement. Dunlop is a long-established tyre name, so the Roadsmart line sits in a familiar, credible part of the field rather than on novelty. It makes sense for riders who want one tyre to do mixed road work without drama, and less sense for someone chasing the last word in track performance.
