    What tyres did your 2012 blade come with?
    Mine came with Dunlop Qualifiers, but the salvage one l've just bought had Dunlop Sportmax on.

    All the new bikes i have seen in dealerships have qualifiers fitted. have dunlop got the same thing going on the bridgestone did with the bt-016. Meaning all bt-016 tyres that were supplied with new bikes were rather poor but the aftermarket bt-016 pro that was available was a better tyre. Or are all the qualifiers just rubish full stop

    Not sure which ones you mean. i had the pilot power 2ct and liked them except for when i was riding quite hard then they felt quite vague

    dan has the power pures so if its these you are on about you should ask for his opinion

    Iv only used the Pures on the road but not hanging about and no complaints yet.

    Pures are good, but I found I really had to experiment with the pressures more than normal to get them to behave.
