Introduced back in '08, the Sportmax Roadsmart is Dunlop's replacement for the previous D220 sport-touring tire.

Incorporating new developments in construction and compound for Dunlop, the Roadsmart's design brief is to offer three qualities in equal measure: handling, wet-weather performance, and mileage. Both front and rear tires feature Flex Steel Joint Less Belt (FS-JLB) construction, consisting of a steel belt wound continuously around the carcass' circumference over the two rayon cross plies. Using the JLB construction on the front tire was a major switch for Dunlop; previously, only the rear had this type of belt layout. The structural rigidity benefits include minimizing carcass distortion under heavy loads, whether through passenger and luggage, aggressive cornering, or high-speed cruising.
