Default Qualifier or Pilot Power?

Okay I need a new rear tire. Not sure if I should get the qualifier or the pilot power? I have a dunlop 208 on the front with about 1000 miles on it. So im thinking I should go with the Dunlop. The only thing is I only got 3000-4000 miles on my rear 208.

i've got the same set-up as you right now. in about 500 miles i'm going to get a new rear. i'm gonna go with the qualifier. a guy i ride with has 'em and raves about it. although like 5 guys i ride with have the MPP and say the same thing. i'm gonna stick with the dunlop though...

well, I JUST got my qualifiers on a little while ago and I'll tell you, you won't be happier! These things warm up FAST, have an AWESOME footprint. 18% more than the 208!!! They're AMAZING! Seriously!!! GOT FOR IT!!! What price can you get them for? here in Kansas your options are limited, but, the "suggested" retail price was 229 or something for the rear and 189 for the front. I paid....151 for the rear and 118 for the front! It was an AWESOME deal I think!!!! On the serious note, you won't be dissapointed if you go with the Qualifiers!!!! DAIRY QUEENS for life!!! LOl.......(DQ'S).....SORRY, I'm REALLY tired and a LITTLE dilusional!

I can get the qualifier for $117 for a 170 rear or $122 for a 180. Same for the pilot power. I cant imagin you can get them any cheaper? I believe its like $8 to ship a tire.

I take that back. That is for the 208 and pilot power. Not sure on the qualifiers yet but i think i can get them for the same price.

i've got the pilot power and i couldnt be happier, its a great tire IMO. the reason why i didnt go with the dunlop is because my bike is my daily driver and i heard the qualifiers dont last nearly as long.

i was going to get the pilot powers, but end up getting some brand new pilot sports for free, so i'm runnin' those right now. i haven't had a chance to run them hard, due to weather, does anyone have any feed back on these bad boys?

Would it be smart to put a pilot power in the rear even though I have a Dunlop 208 in the front? Or should I get another dunlop to match my front?
