recent issue of sport rider loves the dunlops. personally, i have not sampled that/this version but from the past i'm not a fan of them. my fav is bridgestones, they just feel better to me. then 2nd would be michelin.
in this sport rider test they covered latest make/models from all, except did not include michelin saying they are waiting on their newest, which was not available yet. certainly don't understand why they didnt as still would've placed better than at least half the others. unless i missed something = WTF
tires are like oil, you either like a brand or don't, and any bad experiences with one surely discounts them in the future regardless of what others say

Just got back!
Had my new Q2's installed, put on maybe 75 miles afterwards . They will take a little getting used to but I can already tell I like them. My riding today was soft as I don't want to take any chances until they wear in a bit and I get used to them. It felt like riding on stilts because as soon as my body moves just a little now the whole bike moves and when I turn the bike seems to want to fall over more. Seems like the angle is more when turning. Once that new sheen wears off ill be tearing the streets up!

That sounds like an off description, maybe you should check your tire pressure make sure it's up to the right levels.

They said 33 front and 36 rear as far as cold pressures. I'm probably not articulating how they feel correctly. Whatever the case, I like them lol

Congrats! $350 is a fair price and much better than the highway robbery they were pulling b4.
Re the lean, I felt the same way at first too... But, once u break them in and get used to them, I'm sure u'll love them. The tires grip really well in turns and inspire a lotta confidence- even with the steep lean angle.

I emailed the place that sold me the $300 Q2's last year, but they said that they can't offer that super sale price this year. They are, however, offering super sale price of Bridgestone BR016's installed for $310 OTD. Anyone have exp with this tire?
But, I really like the precision & confidence the Q2's have. so, I think I will just pay the non-sale price. They said it will be around $375 OTD installed.

Oh and food for thought here, some members her may want to think of this here.
I own my own No Mar tire machine and balancer.
If you have another member near you it may be something to look at!

If a few members can split the cost it is well worth the investment!

fresh Q2's feel amazing. I wish tires always handle like they are when they're new. lol.
