    What does people think of the Dunlop Sportmaxx Qualifier 2 tyres on the 2014 Blade?

    Crap. They came on my 2013 and have now made a promise to myself that next new bike I buy tyres getting changed before it leaves the dealers.
    Am now running the Metzeler M7 RR and they are so much better,more grip,better braking and much more confidence. Get your suspension set too,totally transformed my bike.

    I absolutely love the Metzler M7RR's ... that's after doing 20,000 miles on Pilot Power 3's!

    Oh lordy, look, a tyre thread! ;)

    Tyres are subjective surely. I understand that some people have favourites but it comes down to how you ride. I had Qualifiers on my K5 Gixer 1000 and by some quirk of chance I've bought this CBR and it has come fitted with a new pair too. I don't mind them. Suits my riding style.
    When they are shot I will have a read in the tyre threads but for now I'm happy.

    Yeah of course, it is subjective but given everyone is different I'm curious as to how everyone copes differently on different tyres. My Blade also came fitted with the Dunlop Qualifiers and I am a fast rider I can hoik up the front wheel easily and do bang the sliders om the ground with relative ease and so far they Dunlops haven't let me down. But my confidence has always been with Bridgestone and the Dunlops today after pushing hard through a few twisties got spongey and felt like was riding on a mattress and they went red on the left side edge of the tyre and bright blue on the right side of the tyre.

    Thanks for your helps guys really appreciate it.
