    My 2016 FJ-09 needs tires.

    Read a ton of reviews, decided on Roadtec.

    It seems the only difference between Roadtec 01 and Roadtec 01 SE is the extent of the grooves onto the very edge of the tire, that is, how near the 'chicken strips' they extend. SE has more flat/slick surface.

    My current tires look more like the SE than the plain.

    I use the FJ as a sport-TOURER mostly, but do enjoy spirited cornering, probably more than most. But also want long life.

    If the tires are identical except for that difference.. and both have excellent rain performance...I'm confused why they would make both, why not just the SE.

    So, looking for comments about the 01 vs the 01 SE, any insight appreciated!

    Or maybe I can be talked into something else with good mileage performance...😃

      IMHO, all or most modern tires are very good (I don't remember the last time I read a review about terrible tires) and within their specific category should perform relatively similar.  As tire prices skyrocket, buy what you can afford and enjoy the road.

      I have tried Dunlop, Pirelli, Michelin, Bridgestone, Shinko and Continental, sport, sport-touring and adventure-type tires and don't have anything bad to say about any of them. 

      I love spirited twisties as much as the next rider and certainly cant out-ride the capabilities of a sport-touring tire to justify using sport tires.  I used to use Bridgestone S22 (sport) tires because they were a good price but the T32's (sport-touring) are almost the same price, perform similarly -for me- and last longer.
