I've got to be honest, this is a hijack thread. I was reading the thread about the Shinko Apex available for $130 and I decided to look around.

They work for me.Dunlop has worked hard on the development of its Roadsmart sport touring tire and after a day of testing the rubber during a deluged day in Malibu, CA, we came away impressed with its effort. The goal was to create a sport-touring tire that features class-leading handling in dry conditions, excellent wet weather performance and the durability demanded by long-haul riders. We can't comment about how many miles it will stand up to because it was a one day intro, but the level of available traction offered in both the wet and dry conditions we experienced was enough to give the Roadsmart our stamp of approval.
One of the most critical aspects of the Roadsmart design was to achieve the best wet weather performance possible. By testing compounds in the lab with FEA before going into production, engineers were able to cut down the time between concept and prototype construction. The physical analysis of the working prototypes through 3D FEM was instrumental in determining the best compound combinations and tread pattern. The tread pattern is referred to as the 'void' and is a key component for the wet weather success of the Roadsmart tire. The final pattern retains the Dunlop cosecant-curve design and allows the use of a softer compound on the outer edges of the tire by reducing wear and is instrumental in the tire's ability to disperse water while maintaining enough of a contact patch to offer the stability and traction Dunlop was looking for.
