Cadwell Park 11/6/2020 Dunlop Mutant tyre test

[@brookelaforest1390]

mate this is awesome you should be a rep for Dunlop with this video. Most effective review for a tyre I've come across in years. Kudos

[@michaelleys2982]

this is the best tyre ever made ; touring yes lots of km ore ml yes street racing yes; wet driving yes summer hot days yes track days wet and dry yes what more do you need ooooh wait light gravel roads yes

[@HarryBahlz]

Your video pretty much answered my question. I have a Hypermotard I normally run Pirelli Rosso IV on, but want a more versatile longer lasting tire. Looks like the Mutant did fine on the track. Can you add any other details regarding performance/handling in the dry?

[@easye1311]

Sweet mama! This was awesome i jsut ordered these and I'm happy i did

[@welshboyonabike]

So these will be OK on my BMW 1250GS then for touring Spain !

[@smiffy7759]

Just fitted another set to my GSA👍👍

[@miswaw]

@@smiffy7759 Can you please wrote what mileage have they achieved on GSA? I have R1250R and thinking about Mutants

[@michaelleys2982]

Tyre pressure for racing on track with the mutant ???

[@pnwgreg300]

Mileage update?

[@ioannismantzios]

I’m thinking on trying them to my s1000xr 19’ triple black what is your opinion for light gravel riding and a little light adv style and fast cornering twist roads Not something extreme

[@Abra_Ka_Dabra_008]

I am thinking same for my Multistrada Pikes Peak that has both F/R 17 wheels

I was on the old R1 you passed coming out of barn Managed a 1.42 that day was a little sketchy on slicks took it steady first few laps never been in them conditions before (only had my license 18 months) This video makes it look dryer than it was lol Great riding I’m doing my Race license in July Will be racing in Thundersport at the end of the year (GP1 Classic)

[@smiffy7759]

Good man, you’ll not regret racing with Thundersport, me and my twin boys race with them, great club and a fantastic friendly paddock. Come and find us when you do your first meeting 👍👍

[@martindunning364]

Smiffy 775 I can’t wait been waiting for this since I was a kid, I had a quick chat to your son watching you fly round on your last session very polite young man, I called it a day when the heavens opened. Il come say hello when I’m racing 👍.

[@smiffy7759]

Martin Dunning I didn’t start proper racing myself till 2017. Glad my boy made a good impression, he’s a good lad, he has a twin brother ( not identical) both of them race in Thundersport too in the Superteen class on Kawasaki 300’s. Look them up on FB “Smith twins racing” 👍👍

[@martindunning364]

Smiffy 775 That’s awesome !! Il look them up now 👍

[@EllaBananas]

Hehehe hitting that cadwell jump propperly!

[@pabz83]

Nice vid, What tyre pressure did u run?

[@evgeny114]

Thanks for the video! Was this Mutant with summer or all season compound?

[@J5racing55]

Nice! I’m running these on the rear of my R1

[@DarrylRobertsonline]

Now my new training vid 👍

[@apriliars2507]

dear smiffy, nice ride on you'r bmw. I have a question. Last year I was at TT Assen (Netherlands) with the mutants in my bike. but I had little or no grip. Sliding everywhere even in 3rd gear on the straight. Maybe my tire pressure wasn't right. What pressure did you run at? thanks in advance for your response! Greatz, Jan

[@smiffy7759]

Hi, I ran mine at 34psi front and 28 rear

[@apriliars2507]

@@smiffy7759 Thanks for you'r response. Did you measure it cold or warm?

[@apriliars2507]

I'll use this as a starting point. do you also feel a lot of movement in the rear when you drive on a wet track.

[@smiffy7759]

@@apriliars2507 yes I did, they grip well but ultimately they are still a road based tyre and not a full race wet tyre. I also run Pirelli intermediate tyres which will also move on a wet as opposed to damp track

[@smiffy7759]

@@apriliars2507 I put warmers on for 15 minutes before going out and set the pressure warm

[@stevejones3180]

Please update us with the mileage you get out of them on your GSA, I've just fitted them to my GS. Ride is harder than A41's as a first impression, due to the quite knobbly tread I suppose, feel every imperfection in the road. Will see how they perform through the winter as I ride for fun in all weathers.

[@b-radsadventures6846]

Interesting stuff.

[@drmengawyong]

Would like to see a compassion of MICHELIN ROAD 6 and mutants

[@Juuul89]

Nice! I’ve been looking for reviews for a while on this tire! Ive been looking for a sportier tire than the oem scorpion trails for my super adventure. It’s hard to find a 19 inch tire to fit my wishes, this might be the one! How’s the warmup time on the road?

[@smiffy7759]

Juuldebuul great grip straight away mate, very impressed with the ones on my GSA, even been deliberately ham fisted with it to try and get it to break loose. Good predictable tyre, I’d definitely have another set👍

[@vixjayindy4828]

Awesome riding. You really can’t tell it’s wet, because your going so fast! Quick question... How do the Mutants compare to a Sports Touring tyre for dry grip?

[@smiffy7759]

They work really well, I also have a set on my R1250GSA on the road, dry grip is superb and very predictable.

[@vixjayindy4828]

@@smiffy7759 thanks for that. Thinking of getting a set for my Versys 1000. Currently looking at Roadtec 01 SE, Roadsmart IV and Battlax T32. But if dry grip on the Mutants is as good as those then the Mutants look like a super choice. I’m not looking for longevity just dry and wet grip. Thanks again.

[@vixjayindy4828]

@@smiffy7759 Have you ever used them on track in the dry? Do they last ok?

[@smiffy7759]

@@vixjayindy4828 yes, used them at a damp Cadwell Park, that’s where the vid was done👍 They lasted and performed great considering there not meant for a 200hp Superbike on a race track😂😂👍

[@vixjayindy4828]

@@smiffy7759 that’s bloody awesome. I only thought it was wet from reading one of the comments. So it was damp but fairly dry? The tyres looked amazingly ok considering the abuse you were giving them with that beast. I fancy taking the Versys on the odd track day next year, so looks like even a hot dry day with me dawdling round, the Mutants should be fine?

Slow down in the parking lot. No reason for that kind of speed.
