Cool Bought new tires!

Just bought new tires like the subject said lol. Aside from everyones opinions, I decided to give dunlop qualifiers a try. I got them for 238 shipped for the 130/70/16 and 180/55/17 to go with the chrome rims I bought! I'm pretty excited lol.

good choice. Everyone's got their own opinion but I love my Qualifiers. They look real good on our bike and the feedback and traction is awesome. Just let them warm up for maybe 4 miles and then you will feel an amazing difference in how they grip. Good luck with the project.

Iv'e run them on the street and track. They are decent. Try the new bridgestone bt003 next.. Awsome and good prices.

Is it bt003 for front and back? I'll probably try those for next season because I plan on riding my bike back and forth to work all summer, so I'll be racking up the mileage

yeah, nothing fancy, and 4 miles would be the most, usually on a warm day 2 or 3 and you will notice the difference. I only mention this because you don't want to get overly aggressive before the tires are warm and at their max traction level. I usually weave around a little for a mile or two and then its all good. Try sticking your fingernail into the tires cold, then try it again when you get back from a ride, also you will notice that small rocks will stick to the hot tires a bit. You'll experience it all for yourself shortly, have fun, be safe.

Yeah front and back on the bt003's. They make a 190 55 if you use them on the track I ran them for 3 sessions at Jennings. Very nice.
