Dunlop have launched their new sporty tyre for the road. Supposedly based on their track tyres. If they're based on the 209 GP's then I reckon they'll be a pretty good tyre.

they looked good all stacked up in the pits on Tuesday.

but then again most new tryes do look pretty.

Yeah last year maybe.

Power ONE's baby all the way!

standard powers are a more than capable tyre, power ones are much softer, and wont be much use on wet roads...

The question is how will these Sportsmax Q2's stack up in the wet. They are rating them as a track and road tyre and the GP A's as their race and track tyre so the Q2's might be ok for wet roads.

well i was thinking i might throw a set on for the cdt tour this year so we may just find out. The tyres i have now wont last the distance and fresh set of BT016's were violated after the run last year.

All in all i much rather it didnt rain
