Tire was shipped and arrived in a timely manner. The new tire is almost 4yrs old.
While I do trust the quality of Dunlop, I am disappointed in paying a premium price for a tire of this age. Somehow I feel slighted.

2. Good Grip

The tires were on sale, so I decided to give them a try. I normally run GPA's on the track. I mounted these up & used on a track that is really abrasive. I used them on a 2015 R1. The wear rate was reasonable & I didn't have any grip issues on a 75 degree day. My slide control light did come on more than I used to seeing, but my traction control never activated during the day. I know I was getting good grip cause bike would power wheelie coming out of a 2nd gear corner. I will use these again in the future.

3. Best deal on tires

The Q3's continue to be the best deal on sport bike tires. Great feel, traction and handling.

4. Love my Q3's

Use to be a big fan of another brand, won't talk bad about and put their name out there, but they changed the compounds to decrease wear and seemed to me like they never got as hot and sticky. Switched to the Q3 on a recommendation of a friend and now swear by them. I don't mind that they wear a little faster. They heat up and get good and sticky. I am usually getting about 3000 miles out of the rear on my 2014 zx10r which although doesn't see track days, it also doesn't get babied in the streets. Lol

Excellent tire for street or track, very sticky. Great in the rain also.

6. Great Street/Track Tire

Purchased for my first track day last year and was very satisfied with them. Felt very confident on them throughout the day. Just ordered another set for this season. They're worth it!

7. good with warmers

I have used the Q3 tires at the track in the past and have found them to be very good at intermediate pace. The reason I mentioned warmers is that for track use the pressures I have had success with are set while hot on the warmers. 33f/26h has worked well for me in the past at the top of intermediate group. They are also a good tire to have for cooler days or to use between race rubber and rains as an "intermediate" tire. I have no experience with these as street tires.

8. The rave is real

Even if you are not really good at riding, this tire will make you feel closer to your racing heroes. But beware, this might not be the tire to go wild on wet streets at 50F. I'm sure Dunlop has got something else if you are onto that.
Anything better than the Q3 is just ridiculously expensive and nonsense.

9. Lots of bang for your buck.

This tire will do it all. I have done track days spirted street and sport touring on this tire with great results. Adjust the air pressure for the application and enjoy.
