    I put a set of roadsmarts on in June of 2010. Not sure if they are one's or two's. Almost 6000 miles on them with no issues. Looks like they will make 3 or 4k more miles. I am a nut about tire pressure and keep mine at the suggested 36 psi front and 42 psi rear all the time!

    How's the "sport" part of their personality? Most of my riding is highway (slab) but there are a lot of canyon roads that I can ride and I want a tire that can give me the milage but the stickiness when I need it.

    the two's are supposed to improve over the ones in every area, especially wet performance and I can say the one's are a good tire for everyday riding and some fun stuff. For hard core fun riding and track days I would look elsewhere

    I used to run nothing but bridgestone 023's and was talked into a set of roadsmarts time before last, didnt like them. They just didnt seem to give any confidence, lacked that feeling of grip i thought. I now have a set of Pirelli Angel ST's and will never run anything else, great wear and the grip in the wet is fantastic.

    Sorry for the late reply. I haven't checked in for a while. My problem is like yours, a lot of slab around Chicago. I bought these tires in 2010 for a trip to the Coulees around LaCrosse WI. They were great with no problems, but most of my riding is in Southern Wisconsin with flat roads through farmland.
