hmmm couldnt see a Z rating anywere there maybe i wont bother

[busakid08]

Great tire but wont last long on a busa lol

Personally I dont like Dunlops from past bad experiances with them, I think they have improved a lot over the years but I wont go back and try them although I have ridden with them on the track and the Quals area good tire

[Dan85]

went with a pilot power front and rear getting fitted today so

[arthur dunga]

I got about 8 months out of the dunlop qualifier i had on the front . Would have no problem using them again , plus they have the 55 profile which i prefer.

[Dan85]

yeah i ended up getting pilot powers well a soft one up front and the 2ct up back cost $100 more but ohwell

BW = Black Sidewall

Do not mix these radials with other radials or non-radials, fit only in pairs.

Note: When new tires are fitted, they should not be subjected to sudden acceleration, hard cornering, maximum power or braking for at least 100 miles. Failure to do so may result in loss of control and serious injury. The 100 mile run-in is required to adjust to the feel of new tires versus the worn tires.

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.
