Need a new rear. Tyre soon and seen these on tyre leader at £68 for a rear 180-55-17 ,are these any good I assume that they are old stock and not the latest , but if no bad reports then they will do for me ,any oppinions ,

It seems to be a street/ sport touring tyre.

See:

I have used Dunlop Q3's and they are great when it comes to grip. Not great for longevity. 2500 to 3000 miles for a rear if you are lucky.

I just bought a set of Q3 from . Coming from Metzeler. I would say its way better and cheaper. The only down side I see is that the compound is quite soft that tends to wear faster, but grip is superb.
