1st of 12 tyres

• The Dunlop Sportsmart MK4 is a sport category tyre that emerged as the overall winner in this comprehensive test. This brand-new tyre excels with its exceptional cold-running behavior, requiring minimal warm-up time before it's ready to deliver optimal performance. Riders will appreciate its incredibly easy and precise turn-in capabilities and outstanding feedback both front and rear, creating what the testers described as a "heightened pleasure factor" when cornering. Its behavior at the grip limit is particularly noteworthy, with slides beginning relatively late and remaining highly controllable under skilled hands. The MK4 was the absolute fastest tyre in wet conditions with the best wet lap time in the entire test, dominating both sport and hypersport competitors by a significant margin. Its exceptional wet handling is complemented by excellent braking performance and outstanding feedback in these challenging conditions.
