well i had the qualifier on there from the factory. this tire never did me wrong even when i was pushing myself as much as i felt comfortable, then when iwore that one out i found a really good deal on a michilen power race soft compound installed for 100 bucks brand new absolutely loved that tire again i loved this tire even more that the qualifier. it never stepped out on me even coming out of a turn in first at WOT, then i went to the pilot power and im still on that one this tire is great. it feels like i candive into cornersmore quickly than all the others, but if i could find the power race tire again around that price id buy it.
btw im still on the qualifier front after almost 8k miles and just now having to change it.
just my .02

my dunlop's have been on there for about 5,000 and still got plenty of tread left. when i do need new ones, i will probably go for dual compound, but who knows, may stick with qualifiers.

There is a difference between the stock "Qualifier's" and off the shelf Qualifier's. The off-the-shelf Qualifier's are much stickier and more responsive. Not to mention, California Superbike School uses them on their track bikes, and they grip like you wouldn't believe. The tire never stepped out or even hinted I was getting close to losing traction, not even down the corkscrew.

I have always used Conti Sport-Attacks, and have had no trouble at all with them. Very capable tire for anyroad condition I have encountered such as rain and even a dabble of snow. (though it was very very limited) I think they are worth a good look, and I bought them from Chapparall* (i think that is how it is spelled)

THE 1ST # IS THE WIDTH OF THE TIRE
THE 2ND # IS THE WALL OF THE TIRE
AND THE 3RD # IS THE SIZE OF THE RIM U CAN MOUNT ON.
