Peter Ptak Red Bank,  NJ Tires for Real Riders in NJ This is the third pair of Dunlop Qualifers, as I ride in NJ from the shore line to the city for work 4 days a week, 8 months of the year. I ride in all weather, except the icy stuff and snow. These tires hold the road, everything from road crap to Parkway oil slick roads at the tolls. You get a good 10,000 + miles on these. The feeling you get in the rain is firm, I can't chance anything on the parkway, they hold the road. These are more than just street tires. 31,000 miles.

ethan pikeville,  KY The best First off I have to say wow, this tire is amazing compared to the old Dunlop Sportmax 207. When I replaced this tire I could tell a big difference when it was new but after the break in period, of about 30 miles. The confidence in cornering is outstanding. I saw a 30 mph improvement in most corners which is amazing. The lean angle is outrageous no matter how far you go you know the tire is going to stick and that is a great feeling. So if you’re looking for a great performance tire, street or track, this is the one.

brian h Houston,  TX Dunlop Qualifier Just wanted to let everyone out there in motorcycle land know that the Dunlop Qualifier is an excellent tire. This is the second one that I have had fitted to my Yamaha R6 and I find the combination of Price, performance and looks hard to beat. The "scrub in" time is minimal and the grip is outstanding. Having just ridden over 120 miles in the Houston rain 2 days ago I can say with complete confidence that this is one of the best tires I have ever ridden on. The life span on my last Dunlop Qualifier was over 8,000 miles and that was with plenty of hard riding. I highly recommend this tire.

Ryan Lee Vestal,  NY Dunlop Qualifier This tire seems to do a pretty good job. I am not very experienced, this being my first tire I've put on my bike but it's been great so far (03 zx6r). The dry traction is terrific, I've never had it slip out or anything, not even in water yet but I am very careful in the rain to begin with. This tire was the cheapest here than I think anywhere else. It corners well and feels good, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a sporty tire for the summer.

Richard F. New Bern,  NC Dunlop Qualifier A good all around tire for the money. I put these on my VFR that I use for commuting and so far I am pleased with the wet and dry traction. I also do some back road twisties on the weekends and they handle that pretty competently. Can't really say how they wear as I have only put about 1K miles on them so far. As always the MSS is a great place to buy from.
