08 1k Stock Tires
So I'm picking up my new 08 this weekend and I'm wondering if the stock Dunlop Qualifiers are sticky enough to actually carve.
I've been running Pirelli Supercorsas on my 600rr for about 2 years, as opposed to qualifiers after having a bad experience with a set.
Any info you guys have, warmup times, stability, grip, etc. for the stock qualifiers would be excellent.

Stock Qualifiers are plenty good enough for carving the streets or even an intermediate track day in a pinch. I actually prefer them to many others. They do take a little time to warm up and the feedback is slightly vague but you can still melt the edges off of them. I run my Qualifiers till they look like slicks and I've never lost grip because of the tire. If you ride hard, lower the pressures to 34 f&r and they will work just fine. If you decide to dump your stockers in place of some race rubber, please let me know how much you'll take for them.

So you'd rather run used up race take offs over brand new Qualifiers..?? That sounds pretty squidly to me. Oh and by the way, unless you can run an advanced pace, your never going to get enough heat in those supercorsas on the street. I guess the cool factor of having race tires and no chicken strips is more important to you than actually having traction.. Lol..

the stock tires are okay for a little while but if your like me and pursue the twisties you risk a high side running them. i was running pilot power ct2 but the dont last long at all so now i run the michelin hpx and love them. they last and they are great for hard twistie street.
That's bull ****.. Your right hand is the only thing that will high side you not the Qualifiers. It's called throttle control. If you think tires are going to save you, your in for a rude awakening.

and running race take offs is not squidly for i know many true twisty riders who run em.
