I just got dunlop qualifers put on. Man what a diffference. The bike is smoother over bumps, and the grip level is much better than the stocks bridgestones. Turning breaking tracking are all improved. I highly recommend theses tires.I got exactly 8,000 miles out of the bt14's though.

 

Don't expect getting 8k miles on the qualifiers.

 

That alot of miles. Got 5k before I ordered new rubber. Didn't feel safe at all on plat spotted rear. Know what you mean though my new ones (ppt2ct ) are so smooth! Huge difference and more confidence.

 

Antone try the Pirelli SuperCorsa's. My friend ran those in a 3 hour endurance race on the same set. The held up great and they took second place so the tires must be impressive.

 

I stopped using Qualifiers for a couple reasons...... Slow warm up time and they were not lasting long at all. I was only getting 1000 miles give or take a few out of the rears. Went back to Pilot Powers and have not looked back since.

Qualifiers are a big improvement over the stock stuff though!

 

Only 1000 miles? That can't be right. What are you riding; a 200+ HP ZX10R Superbike? Either that or must be doing a lot of burnouts. You should be able to get at least 3000 miles out of those Qualifiers even on a ZX10R.

 

That is on the CBR. The ONLY use that bike see is mountains or back road blasting. The bike does not get used for commuting at all, so it pretty much always WFO. You know anyone that can get 1000 miles on tires riding track only? That's pretty much how it's ridden ALWAYS. I can double that tire life with Pilot powers though.

Seriously, the RR has just over 7000 miles on it and it'son it's 5th set of tires right now.

 

i use the Q's and i like them.

 

I knew that they wore quicker that the Michelins but not that quick! My friend used the same set of Pirelli SuperCorsatires for the whole 3+ hour endurance race and that was all out pushing it. They took second in the class and 3rd overall on an 05 636. Got beat by 1000's.[:'(]

 

Ya, the guy at the dealership told me that the Q's wont last quite as long as the pp's, but that they were a bit softer, and sticker. I took that with a grain of salt becasue i know first hand that most of the guys at kawai dealerships dont know ****. I dont do burnouts, and usuallyonly ride hard when i go up into the canyons.I hoping to get 3- 4000 miles out of them.
