Dunlop Qualifiers
I have had 2 sets of Dunlop Qualifiers on my 97 vfr so far and I can say they are pretty nice tires. They are superior out on the track and never have let me down no matter how hard my rookie behind pushed. For the street the dont get as much wear. The center seems thinner than most and will wear out quicker than the sides for everyday riding. I would say you would get 5k out of a set, unless your like me and a nail comes along at 80-90 % worn then Ill just get a new one.
If your looking for a great cornering/track/street tire go for the Qualifers. And here is what happens when I want too get all 100 % tread worn on my dime: <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-3zL0Aadi08"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-3zL0Aadi08" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object> |

The photo doesnt come up in my browser - anyway love them Q's sticky stuff.
-Who knows RW - You know if you had all the parts on hand and the body off in advance, I think it would be about a 2 day job. Some time I would like to visit your fine state.

My '96 came with Qualifiers on it, supposedly only 1,000 miles old. I think I might get another 1,000 miles out of them (on top of the 2,200 I rode this summer), so I got >4,500 miles from this set.
Right now, the front is cupping and the rear is pretty squared off. I need some Pilot Road 2CT's!!! My riding is 65% highway commute/35% twisties. Grip is good, though, but I don't have another tire to compare it to. |
