holy ****, these tires suck! i cannot wait till they wear out so i can throw some PP's on it. i've NEVER had a problem w/ tires like i do w/ these pieces of ****. even when my PP's were cold they NEVER slid or broke loose like these do. it was raining this morning and as i came to a traffic light it turned yellow. i was maybe doing 5 over the speedlimit and i was far enough away that even if i twisted my wrist and took off i would have run the red light. so i began breaking on the wet road the the damn tires WOULDNT grip what so ever! i slid through TWO traffic lights this morning! the tires woudlnt bite, and just kept slipping side to side. no it didnt JUST start raining, it had rained all night so it wasnt that.

i rode through SNOW AND ICE w/ my PP's and NEVER had problems like THIS. They gripped like champs! uuuuugh, Dunlop Qualifiers FTL!!!!!

 

+1000 just swapped my michelins for a set of qualifiers...i thought at first was because they were new but they have about 900 miles on them now and i still hate them. They lose grip all the time

 

lose grip?.......they'd have to GET grip or have gripto lose it!!! i have 2500 on my '08 600RR and these tires have sucked from day 1. they will DEFINATELY make you lose confidence, cant wait till they're worn down.

 

think those are bad... try running dunlop 218's.... in fact, dunlop can pack sand.. they don't grip and they wear out really fast....

 

Why wait? change them bitches out.

 

i thought about it but as the weather is getting colder, i dont want to put the PP's on now since i wont be riding very hard on the colder pavement. i think i'll be cruising. plus i only have a front PP in my garage. i still need to buy a rear (i had to put the rear on my F4i b/c of a industrial size staple in tire).

 

there is a difference between the qualifiers that come stock on your bike versus the qualifiers you can buy seperate. im not sure right now what the number is for the good one but i never have a problem with my quals slipping out always got traction little warm up time

 

Never rode on qualifiers and after reading this I never want to. I've never had a complaint about my PPs, and I think I'm on-board the Michelin train for life.

 

The Qualifiers on your bike are not True Qualifiers. Your tires do take a long time to warm up and don't really like cold weather. Be very careful on these tires with the weather cooling off.

 

Wtf are "True Qualifiers"
