Lemme forword by say'in that my riding style is approximately 90-95% "agressive commuting" and about 5-10% ripp'in it up with da boyz...neither tire experienced any on purpose smok'em ups but both have left some small darkies here and there on corner exits and both have seen the peg on the speedo (at least once or twice)...as follows...
My 1st Q1 (Original Qualifier) at 1600 miles...These are the dunlops i winced at "Having to Buy" and mount because michelin PP's were nowhere to be found at the time....and within the 1st mile of scuff'in'em in i was like...Whoa Baby!....These Tires Rock!....but i only got 3,200 out of the rear...
Now here's my new "dual compound" Q2 which just turned a tad over 1600miles today...
Both the Q1 & Q2 rock in every way but i can definantly tell that i'm gonna get at least a few more miles outta the Q2 and with no noticable loss of stick or performance...as a matter of fact?...if anything?....the Q2's seem like they may be a tad sticky'er on the sides than the Q1's were!...and with the harder compound in the center?...they seem to be holding their own against the infamouse "Florida Flat Spot In The Middle" deal...anyways....i'm tickled shidless with'em so far.... for Dunlops new and improved (at least for floriduh*) Q2's!
*Note/Disclaimer: Because the Q2's are a noticably softer compound (can feel the dif between center/sides with yer fingernail kinda soft...and feels like freaking pencil eraser)....I can NOT attest to the fact that you mountain men up there by dragonland & the cherryhole won't shred the ultra soft and sticky sides off these motoGP like puppies but they're workin out GREAT for this 51 year old scooter ****!
Hope ya'll found the above informative if not interesting and?..L8R, Bill.
