Dominate changing road conditions and extend your cross-country range by mounting the high-performance Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart III Rear Tire (180/55ZR17 M/C 73W TL). Custom-engineered for modern sport-touring motorcycles, naked sport bikes, and long-distance commuters, this premium rear tire introduces advanced multi-tread technology designed to blend aggressive cornering performance with class-leading tire longevity.
Heavy sport-touring machines and high-torque engines put immense vertical load and heat stress on the center section of rear tires, leading to rapid flattening, unstable cornering transitions, and premature tire wear. Dunlop entirely eliminates this performance bottleneck by implementing their innovative MT Multi-Tread configuration. The center tread uses a specialized, wear-resistant rubber compound that stays perfectly stable under constant highway tracking, while the shoulders are formulated with a highly resilient lateral grip compound to deliver maximum traction and absolute confidence when leaning your machine through tight, aggressive corners.
Unlike standard sport tires that slide or lose compliance when rain hits the pavement, the Roadsmart III utilizes a revolutionary Interlocking Groove (iG) tread pattern. These deep, computer-optimized siping lines act as mechanical water evacuation pumps. By automatically forcing standing surface water away from the contact patch, the tire cuts cleanly through heavy rain to resist hydroplaning, maintaining an incredibly high wet-weather grip factor and uniform heat distribution over the entire service life of the tire casing.
This 180/55ZR17 Roadsmart III Rear Tire is a highly universal configuration, serving as the factory-correct sizing blueprint for a massive variety of middleweight and heavyweight sport-touring motorcycles. It acts as an immediate premium performance replacement or upgrade across major platforms, including: Yamaha FJR1300, Tracer 900, & MT-07/MT-09 series; Kawasaki Ninja 1000, Concours, & Z900; Honda Interceptor, VFR1200, & CB1000R; Suzuki Bandit, GSX-S750/1000, & V-Strom variants; BMW R1200RT / R1250GS setups; and Ducati Multistrada or Monster models. Please verify your machine's stock rear rim diameter, swingarm width, and fender clearance specifications prior to final assembly positioning.
Please Note: Drivetrain and chassis safety is critical. This listing is for a single (1) individual tubeless rear tire. The wheel/rim is shown for demonstration purposes only and is sold separately. For optimized tracking stability and neutral steering geometry, it is highly recommended to pair a fresh Roadsmart III rear tire with a matching Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart III front tire.
