It's a Sport Smart 2 which even Dunlop admit their crap  :icon_lol: wear wise the SS 1 was better and there's a new 3 coming out made the same way as the 1,but as I do a lot of ducking and diving in the bike trade cost me peanuts.

Your in a different situation having a work horse i'd Always keep an eye on what M+P are selling I bought a pair of Avon's earlier this year for 125 quid posted, put them on my K1200 and their really good even with my contacts couldn't Get anywhere near that kind of money.

I often buy from M&P in advance of when I need them if there is an offer, as you say their prices are really good and I don't care it the tyres have been on the shelf as I go through them pretty quickly.

I thought the Sportsmart 2 Max was pretty good, but grudgingly have to admit that new Road 5 from Mich is gonna take some beating, but yes the new Sportsmart 3 may be it

Not too keen on the price but them Mich 5's are some tyre having done a few miles on such.

Running Metzler Tourance on mine. I admit to going for the cheaper option when I changed them as the Michelin Anakee 3's that were on it when I got it were squared off.

Didn't really want 100% road tyres as living in the sticks,you never know what's on the road around the corner or how bad the road is.
No matter how smart you are you can never convince someone stupid that they are stupid.

I still run Pirelli Scorpion Traill 2s although my last set weren't up to previous ones. They, for some reason, tramline. I have another set to go on so if these do the same its game over
