Good deal on the new Dunlop Qualifiers
The subject of tires came up in a different thread and I thougt I'd pass this along....
I have been exceptionally pleased with the Pilot Powers I am currently running. But, I have read good things about the new Dunlop Qualifiers.
Here is a good deal (best I have found)
$199 for the front and rear.
I bought a set

Re: Good deal on the new Dunlop Qualifiers
The new skins arrived. I have to say, they look pretty nice.
The cross sectional profile is clearly sport oriented - especially the front. It appears at least as "pointy" as the PP, maybe just a little more so. Hard to tell until they are mounted and inflated.
The tread cuts are noticeably less than what is present on the Pilot Powers.
Will have a greater contact patch, that's for sure.
Also, the tread cuts do not extend all the way to the edge of the tire.
Should mean pretty much 100% rubber contact at full lean angle.
Hope they work as good as they look.
