Personally I like them on my bike. Not tried the 2's yet to compare. I know they're not everyone's favourite tyre but...... £99 a pair is not to be sniffed at... http://www.mandp.co.uk/index.php/de...62/s/dunlop-qualifier-tyre-deals/category/64/
If it wasn't for the fact I WANT to try the M7RR's I'd have gone and bought a set. I'll probably get another month or 2 out of my Qualifiers, they are still in brilliant shape with even wear and I can't find fault with them although I only ride on the road but I've heard so many good things about the 7RR's and PR4's I want to try something different. I've have Qualifiers on both the Blade and my K5 Gixer so I like them.
These tyres came as OE tyres on my Speed triple and put me off Dunlops for 4 years until I tried Dunlop Sportsmarts. Horrid horrid Tyres. Rears lasted about less than 1500 miles Felt bad in the wet and gave me no confidence at all in the dry. Only my view I know but I would not touch them if I was given them for free
As I said above, I've had no issues with them in the past but just today after fitting the Bazzaz ZFi, I managed to wheelspin in second gear on a straight for about 50 yards or so although the tyre was fairly cold, it took me by surprise.
There is a BIG difference between OE Dunlops and the ones we buy ... There is nothing wrong with Qualifiers. Still a better tyre than 99% of riders ...
