B-Kings come factory fitted with Dunlop Sportmax Qualifiers.
I have just put a 2nd set on mine.
Several folk on the B-King forums swear that they are NOT all the same.
Factory fitted tyre is "Made in Japan",
After market tyre is "Made in USA"
I can see a slight difference in the front pattern too.
It seems to be generaly accepted that the Factory tyres get better
mileage, the aftermarket get better grip.
Not seen anything 100% fact, but general opinion is although they are all listed as a "Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier" there may be different compounds.
Time wil tell.
