Just got mine yesterday, They seem to have a more rounded profile. It's said that they have a more neutral feel.
Won't know till this evening after a few miles.
Hearing about the bike feeling like it's falling in turns helped me decide to check out the dunlops.

I also have been hearing good reports, especially the price. I have the P.R.-2's and love them. If the roadsmarts can come close to the mileage, I will also try them. Eager to hear the reports

My first impression is . . . . . . . WHOA!!!
I only have about 60 miles on them at this time, but they feel pretty dagg-on good.
They make the the bike very predictable and flickable at the same time.
Keeping a line is effortless!!
Got into the second compound after scrubbing a little bit.
Almost scared me that they stick so well.
I would love to do the Pilot Powers but at the moment, my budget says different.

Now that ,,you've had them on awhile what do you think of those tires Ghostman?
I run the Pirellis and was considering the roadsmsrts as my next (winter use.) tire .
Really happy with the Corsa front and strada rear combo for everything but track days. So I'm keenly interested in your impressions.

I'm very happy with them. They feel very neutral at low and high speed.
Very stable above 150mph . . . . . . . . .So I heard 
The bike feels very planted in the corners and easily flickable.
I've got 1000 miles on them so far and they look like I just scrubbed them in!
I am definitely not an aggressive rider, but I CAN say that the chicken strips are almost gone!

Guess I,ll give them a try. I'm not too stupid on the street. I'll blitz a nasty on ramp and acouple of back roads "once in awhile" but with the rainy season coming they'll mainly be for wet roads.
Bikes coming apart tonight for suspension work. New springs and valving in the forks and a 2 valve Penske out back. Should take care of this big boys wallowing on the track and better feed back in the mountains.
I'll stick with Pirelli Corsa IIIs for the track and summer "touring"
Thanks for the follow up, TC
