Good deal thanks for posting it. I just paid 150 for a rear Dunlop Qualifier.

Nice price but I don't ever hear that tire being recommended by other riders. How sticky is it? Anyone know?

I got my BT-016s for about $70 more and free shipping so I wouldn't jump on this unless it will fit your riding style.


Ah - I see- It's new.

I'd give it a try. Sounds by the manufacturer description like the rear tire is not multi-compound .. Spose the rear is all pretty high grip. Might not ware too good but for the price, I'd try it.

Probably wont be in the market for new tires for 8 months. Anyone think it's a good idea to leave a set of tires sit for that long before mounting (will they lose their tack/get hard surface?).

This is a very sticky tire much more so than the BT-016s.The front is a dual compound the rear is a single soft compound. Rook look around you will see this tire is recommended by track day junkies all over the place. I had a pair when I had my zx14 and they were great but the rear only lasted about 2600 miles (no burnouts) however that’s what I got out of a Dunlop Qualifier and the rock hard stocker. Rook is right if you ride straight up and down most of the time the some other tire may be a better choice

I looked into those tires rook. The BT-016s are great for the street but get greasy on track when they heat up cause the shoulder compound is very soft.

If you're mostly track riding with occasional street try the BT-002s but for mostly street I'd stick with the BT-016. Those soft shoulders are really tacky in the corners without having to get em hot first. Race tires like the BT-002s you gotta get heat in em first, that's why racers use tire warmers. Just my .02

The BT002RS are primarily a street tire that can handle light duty trackdays as well and they don't need tire warmers like a race tire would. I would stay away from them if all you do is highway trips the center would be gone in no time.
