Dunlop Q2 Sale

[Hokie]

Saw this on another forum I'm on. I figured those of you preparing for spring and needing new rubber could take advantage of it.

I'm so torn between these and the pilot road 2ct...

[R7]

I stopped a bike dealer on the way home from work today and felt up some 2CT Pures, they were so dreamy

I'm so torn between these and the pilot road 2ct...

really? they are pretty different. i ran 32psi on a q2 and got about 3k miles on my SV650...they are a great trackday tire. now i can see being torn between a roadsmart and a pilot road..

If you guys can wait a few weeks we're going to have a similar deal right here at Seacoast - and we can install them! Also Roadsmarts, Michelin Pilot Pures and RD3's!

What kind of deal we talking? Q2's and install? Can you give us a spoiler on a price for both?

I seee.... so on the streets the choice would be the PP 2CT? $210 a set from JW.

Dunlops are maybe $15 cheaper but you're saying they are nice and gummy and will wear quickly?

Hey Chris,

However route you go with...there is a couple of good people here that do tire mounting. Say, trickymike, bomo and I'm sure others here do provide that service as well.

[KingCast 650R]

Much obliged my brother.

Looking forward to next week with those new meats on there, she will be finally sorted for the springtime. Got the TuneECU cable yesterday, although since I really tightened my exhaust things are much much better in that burble and response department referenced earlier. These damn triples, I drank the poison, can't wait to get me a 1050 Tiger, totally my style of bike.

We appreciate the support! We don't have any deals going on Bridgestones - mostly because with the exception of the Desmosedici we don't sell that many.

Mad props to the Q2:

Changing the chassis geometry the least,
the Dunlop Sportmax Q2 maintains its line
through corners, turned most predictably,
handled bumps well, and gave good feedback
in all situations. Additionally, the Q2s showed
the least wear at the end of the day. The Q2
was a little faster than its closest competitor, an
undeniably important statistic for performance
tires, but most importantly it was the tire that
gave the testers the most confi dence. By both
subjective and objective standards, the Dunlop
Sportmax Q2 is our clear winner.

A much more comprehensive test with two different performance sets. Dunlop smoked the regular 2CT I'll pay the mileage tax for that.

Just like the other big name brand tires in this test the Q2s deliver a very high-level of performance for a street tire. But next to how rigid they feel the thing that really sets them apart from the competition is the price. Simply put the Dunlops are an unbelievable value for the money making them the tire we’d purchase when we need a new set of tires for our sportbike..........RIDER NOTES:

“Insane amounts of traction. Heat-up time is also astounding. The front tire feels like it has a very triangular profile. It turns in aggressively but is predicable with perfect stability. Both tires feel firm and do not move around at all yet they deliver good feel. Rear tire has insane traction everywhere. Feel wasn’t as good as the Power One or Pirelli and the carcass felt stiffer. Grip was consistent and never tapered. It actually felt like I could race on these tires.”
