I've had Bridgestone BT014's on the Ninja for a while now. Thinking about tinkering with the tyres.

Heard that the Dunlop Qualifiers are quite popular. These any good, or should I stick with the Bridgestone's?

From personal experience on dunlops id say if your a weekend warrior then get them...but if you ride in the wet they are utter sh*te. This was with 208's though dont know what qualifiers are like.

Had bridestones on my 400 loved them, got my F3 and it had dunlop 207's couldnt wait to get rid of them and put bridgestone 020's on and feel so much happier couldnt knock bridestone at all but Dunlops seriously suck if u ask me

 

[Rs06 Ant]

[paulj]

i'm running dunlop qualifiers front and back, never let me down yet, never let go on corners or lost traction through hard acceleration.

although they do take a few mins to warm up

Have you used the latest generation Dunlops? The 207 is nearly 10 year old technology and very sh*te by todays standards. Qualifiers are good for all weather riding, I did most of last year on a set and didn't find a problem with them but as Fathead said give em a few minutes for a bit of temperature to get into them. Have a look around as there are some new Dunlops including the Qualifier RR.

Got Pirelli Diablo Corsas now which are awesome in wet and dry conditions. Latest Dunlops or Pirelli's and you can't go wrong.

 

[paulj]

Got any links for good prices on the Qualifiers please?

 

[paulj]

?175 seem like a good price for them?

You cant be leaning it too far judging by pics ive seen of your bike and its tyres with 1'' chicken strips.

My tyres wernt warm, thats why they let go, user error and i was pushing too hard to early.

Ok have you seen me ride ermm no.

Since paul is buying the tyres and hes seen me ride let him be the judge.

 

[tommyb]
