ESokoloff Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 So I'm about to mount my first Roadsmart tire on the rear of my RT & need assistance in determining the heavy or light spot. I found a yellow dot and a white triangle on the side-wall. Anyone know what these marks mean? Also what pressure are you running? With Z6's, I ran 40/42. TIA Link to comment

Todd_Z1 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Ed, I run 36 in the front and 38 in the rear. I feel that the higher tire pressures lead to a harsh ride and loss of traction. At these pressures I am getting close to 6000 miles on a set of tires. Well that is except for "Larry's Ride" with the Peninsula Red Riders. I only got 2100 miles but there was a high smile to the mile count. Cheers! Todd Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thanks Stefan. Not sure if that applies to Dunlop's but I went ahead & installed it yellow dot to the heavy rim spot. Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Hey Todd, are you running RoadSmarts on the KS? On my KS rear, the least miles down to the cords was about 2.5K using a M1. The best was about 4k (to the cords) on a CT2. In contrast to that, the (rear) Z-6 that I just changed out today on my RT is a few hundred short of 13k. Different bike & lately different riding style Link to comment
