On sale this Saturday at Cycle Gear (at least in the Portland OR Metro area)for one day only $199. Anybody in the group have first hand experience with these new & improved Q2's? Don't need tires immediately but likely before the middle of summer (my Pirelli Diablos have over 2700 miles to date & still look fine). Thinking of buying them and mounting them later unless they perform as bad as the OEM original Dunlaps that came on the bike when I bought it. The Pirelli's just felt better and better each time I rode. Now I understand the Pirelli Diablo stock OEM tires are discontinued in favor of the Rosso's so I guess I'm going to have to try something new eventually.

Great tires from what my friends say.
I trust their judgment, some of them are way faster that me.
BTW we ride the twisties.

Just put a set of Q2's on this week. So far so good. I only have about 100 miles on them though. Here are a few more thoughts on them.

Just in from the 3%er's...
Matt (Sanchez) just bought a set...
Cycle Gear isn't mounting tires today, so I took the wheels to Marietta Motorsports. I got to chatting with them, and apparently these Q2's are pretty good. Opie Caylor ran 1:00 flat at Tally with them on a bone stock GSX-R 750 in full street trim.

I like em. I ran a set on my XB9R best dunlop I have ever ran. I think I like em better than my good ole PP2CTs.

I have heard nothing but great things about the Q2's both in the press and from my friends who have done track days with them.

However, I canceled my order for them, and am going to put the new Michelin Pilot Pure's on my Ducati 999s, because they do actually weigh three and a half pounds less than a pair of Q2's.

I weighed them myself.

That is a big difference in unsprung, rotating weight.

Probably won't know how they work for a while because the bike came with a new set of Pilot Powers, which are a pretty decent tire too, and they only have 700 miles on them.

I am sticking with the Michelin Pilot Road 2's on Lil' Blackie, my XB12SR because they handle great, and they just do not seem to wear at all.
