Dunlop Sportmax Q3s. - cyndemgum - 02-03-2014
Ordered a set of Q2s last week but the sale fell through as they did not realise they had run out of 55 series rears. Anyway after reading some reviews I thought I might give the Q3s a try. Anybody had any experience with them? Thanks, Paul.

no, but interested in your appraisal of them on the 'busa. I tried to buy a set of Q2s last time and got sportmax sportsmart by mistake. Felt great on road and track, even when worn right down.
RE: Dunlop Sportmax Q3s. - cyndemgum - 02-03-2014
Yeah thanks Ward, I intend on running them on my litre bike. Very happy with the Q2s but apparently the 3s are even better. Running a Q2 on the front of the gen2 and a Pilot road 3 on the rear. As you know the Busas are very hard on full sport rears. I have just emailed Rocky Mountain atv and asked how much it will cost for 2 sets posted to Aus. If they come up with a good deal I will get back with the details. Have a blast, Paul.

Hi Paul, was getting ready to get in touch with Rocky Mountain as well as Jake Wilson Team from US and ask for a good deal on Mich PR3 set or a Metzeler M5 set and noticed your post. Both websites quoted initially about $75 for one set but once I added second set of tires shipping fee was $95. I started looking and will buy a set soonish, hence keen to join someone from forum to split shipping charges. Though, not sure where you are but I'm based in Sydney. Keep us posted anyway...
Cheers B

Jake Wilson & Rocky Mountain are one in the same....one wholesaler operating two businesses out of the same warehouse.

A little stiffer in the casing and probably worth running them a couple of psi under the Q2 pressures. They hook up out of an apex a little earlier than the Q2s and don't leave as much of a rubber line behind. Certainly on par with Pirelli Supercorsas and much cheaper to purchase. All the best, Paul.
