RSVDon Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC51 John Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I can't find it for sale, but that may be my next tire purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/Dunlop_Q2/sportmaxQ2.htmlAVAILABLITY 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, 200/50ZR17I 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. Edited July 21, 2009 by ReconRat tire sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSVDon Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 It's gotta be a 190/55/17. These bikes respond really well to that size. I guess I'll just wait until September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFM Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Go with a 180 if they are available. It should transition a bit side to side faster in theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
