Dunlop Sportmax Q2?

Recommended Posts

Are they even out yet? I need a new rear tire and want one of these in 190/55/17 but haven't found them yet. Can't stray too far on work internet because they have it locked down.

Can someone confirm if these are available yet or not?

AVAILABLITY

The Sportmax Q2 will be available in the U.S. in the summer of 2009 and will be offered in these sizes:

Front: 120/60ZR17, 120/70ZR17

Rear: 160/60ZR17, 170/60ZR17, 180/55ZR17, 190/50ZR17, 190/55ZR17, 200/50ZR17

I bought the SportMax RoadSmart this year for the rear.

edit: looks like the RoadSmart isn't available in 190/55/17. They do have 190/50/17.

It's gotta be a 190/55/17. These bikes respond really well to that size. I guess I'll just wait until September.

Yup, I'm thinking you want pure performance anyway.

Not a "little bit of touring" in a RoadSmart. heh.

I don't tour enough to necessitate a RoadSmart, it's all quick corners for me. lol

So outright grip is a must, but I think the Dunlop might suit what I'm looking for as it's got a hard center section. I've put 5800 miles on my bike since March 7th and don't plan on stopping. Double-edged sword, I know. Plus the new Q2 has been putting down over 2 sec faster lap times on many different bikes over the old Qualifiers on the same day and conditions. That's a helluva lot and I currently have Sportmax Qualifiers on there so I guess it can only get better. :cool:
