Unsure. However, my RC51 never had a problem w/ Qualifiers. And, if there's a bike that can test & eat tires, its the RC51.

That being said, agree that the OEM Sportmax tires, that come on the bikes from the factory, are lacking indeed.

The answer was Chevy for me - but my 13 year old Blazer puked it's third transmission in 129K miles yesterday.

Frickin odd, cause that same trans is behind everything, but for some reason I can kill a 4L60E in less time than it takes to wear out a set of tires.

Stock size pilot road 3's. I do not track, but lots of commuting with some very aggressive street riding. I also ride in the rain, the pr3's are great in the wet.

I had Q2's on my track only F2 last year. I did 7 days on them, could have gotten at least 4 or more track days out of them but I switched to race compound michelin this year. Q2's were very good at the track. Once in a while I would get a little slip front and rear but thats when I would really really push them. I would definitely put them on my street bike. I ran 28psi front and rear because the tire guy at Summit Point said so.lol. I'm sure street pressure should be a little more.

Ford vs. Chevy, I pick Toyota everytime! Everything else is crap, IMO! *****

I'm with Frank, in that I run race Michelin's at the track - med compound front and rear...cryin' shame that the Power One rears in our size have gone bye-bye, those tires are AMAZING!! Stickiest treaded hoops I've ever run on!

Q2's for street.
