New Tires Q3+ front...

[Jakegsxr11]

I've decided to go with the Dunlop Roadsmart 4 in a 190/55 in the rear and a Q3+ 120/70 in the front. Problem is I cannot find the front Q3 available anywhere? Is this tire still made or just out of stock everywhere. I can probably wait a little bit to get the front. My current front is just to the wear bars and I don't usually ride in rain but the rear needs replacement ASAP. I'm currently running the GPR-300s front and back and from my understanding the Roadsmart should be an upgrade in all aspects except price. If I cannot get the Q3 anymore any suggestions on a sportier front Dunlop to pair with the Roadsmart 4 rear?

Hi. I am not sure if the are still making them. I got a Q3+ front in a 120-60-17 about 1 yr ago. I run it with my Michelin 200-55-17 Power Cup 2 .

Q5 now

 

[Jakegsxr11]

Got it, looks like I'll get the Q5S

Have you ridden the Q5S on the rear yet? What do you expect for mileage back there on it?

Have not.
New rubber arrives in about a week
I've run the Q3+ before and squeezed close to 5k mi out of the rear.
Expecting about half that on Q5S without trackdays just as a random benchmark, you know, lowering my expectations.

5k on a Hayabusa??

5k on a Hayabusa??

...more like 5k on a Dunlop?
I was commuting back then, 100 mi/day, SoCal fwys
Squared off w/ 4" chick strips after the first 1k
Ugly, but yes, 5k

 

[wiso]

wow.

I ended up going with the Q5s all around. I'll be happy if the rear lasts 3k. If not oh well, maybe I try the roadsmart 4 then. I usually only get 2k out of the rear on my 1100 anyway.
