Best Motorcycle Tires for 2024 P3 of 6

Road: The Dunlop's standout feature is its agile handling. Even though the contour has been slightly tamed compared to its predecessor, it remains the most agile in the field. Sporty riders will be convinced by the good grip and feedback at higher speeds. Low pitch moment during braking. Wet: Excellent wet grip combined with agile handling results in good lap times in the wet test. The limit range announces itself early, and the traction is above average, making it a predictable tire in bad weather. Wear: It wears averagely but very homogeneously on the front and rear. The tread wear does not affect the handling; in direct comparison, it remains ahead of the competition in this discipline even at the end of the wear test. Conclusion: The Dunlop is the most agile tire in the test, helping less agile vehicles and potentially feeling twitchy on already agile motorcycles. In everyday use, it impresses with its good wet grip and feedback. Overall: Very Good..

Had the V fitted for a number of years and found them to be a fantastic tire all round. Front tire did not last as long as the rear due to the weight of the bike and the K1600gtl being very front heavy. I now have the Road Smart IV and so far so good. I did a 2200 mile trip around Ireland this year 2025 with a every kind of road and conditions, both twist and motorway and lets say not so slow most of the time. Spent most of the time one up though full laden. The grip was never lacking and I felt confident in tone and on the open road, twisty or strait.
I would highly recommend the Road Smart 4
