Has anyone tried the Dunlop Sportsmax Q3?

Post by jsaul53 »

I need to change front tire and debating on switching to the Dunlop Sportsmax Q3. I have Dunlop Roadsmart II on now. Anyone have experience with this tire? from what I have read it will be a very sticky tire. Tire life may be of some concern but not stressing too much on that.

isn't it costly swapping tires every month?

Don't be kidding yourself petey.

The only way your tires last three months is when it snows and sleets.

Yeah I guess you're right, ;) sometimes they don't quite make it three months, :mrgreen: but I keep a set ready to mount if necessary. I've been thinking about trying the Q-3's
