The RoadSmart tire was supposed to fill all the fitment of the D220 and D205.  But it looks like the 150/80-16 size got forgotten.

yep. they were my bias ply tire of choice...

nice & sticky for sport riding. expect low mileage (3000mi?), when the rear gets bald the front will most likely be cupped all to hell.

Thanks, TRoy,

I ~thought~ they looked like one of the better options.

17" rear is out of the question right now, but I'm gonna have to do SOMETHING about the 10-year-old 591s that are on there now... ;)

Cheers,

FWIW, Dunlop is still listing the 205 on their website... so reports of its demise may be premature... ;)
