The dunlop Q-3 carbon fiber that was expected to cost more than the original Q2 is actually less expensive... OMG ...

Looks nice. I always liked Dunlops

Oooooooooh carbon fiber tyres ... How could anyone possibly choose anything else? I'm sure these are the best fooking tyres EVAR!

When i bought my bike will be 3 years ago coming December it came with Q2's on it --- since i bought it ran nothing but Q2's ( 7 sets in a year of riding )... Never had a complaint with them except for the 2k miles before cord shows ..... Sounds like this new Q3 is even better ... Had i known these tyres were already on the market i would have purchased a set two days ago when i ordered Pilot Road 3 instead .... Oh well it's not like the Road 3 will be on there for more than a couple months before it's toast anyway so next stop Q3's......... The Q2's were nothing but confidence inspiring to me. Predictable neutral handling , sticky , and nearly perfect even wear all the way down to a cord showing ........ i know i shouldn't mention i ride tyres to cord showing , but i've always done that - even on my cars. Bad example Bad example --- Dark Side !!!

thumbs up to Dunlop , if i get 3k miles out of em i'll be a believer

I just hope the stiffer sidewall of the Q3 does not change the feel for the worse. The thing I love the most about the Q2 is the feedback it gives me, I know exactly where it is on the road and what it is doing. Lets hope these are just as good.

After todays ride home, it is time for a new rear, so I will put my spare Q2 on, then after that, depending on reviews and prices, I may try a Q3 later this year.

how does this dunlop sportmax q3 compare with the dunlop sportmax sportsmart?

im currently on sportsmarts and wanting something more grippy.

This could be the perfect Pike's Peak race tyre...

Review on ride apart http://rideapart.com/2013/06/gear-dunlo ... -q3-tires/.

I found Q2's to be like plastic.
Carbon will cool off the warmers really quick and squirm first lap like the Kevlar of the Michelins.

I ordered a set - need parts to get the bike running though
Might be a bit before I can give my feedback.
