Dunlop Sportmax Q5S Front Tire
$231.75 - $246.04
Dunlop Sportmax Q5S Front Tire Item # 951642

Description
Having enhanced constructions, profiles, compounds, and tread patterns, the Dunlop Q5S provides nimbler handling and improved dry and wet grip to make it even more user friendly all while maintaining class-leading durability.
Features:
- The front tire profile and construction were changed to allow for a 7mm shorter tire. This shorter profile created a lighter steering feel and quicker turn-in rate to allow for a nimble handling tire
- Intuitive Response Profile™ (IRP) technology allows for a taller tire profile along with sides that taper in more aggressively for remarkable turn-in response and feel
- MT Multi-Tread™ technology in the Q5S rear tire uses a silica-infused, long-wearing compound in the center of the tread for longer tread life, and special lateral grip compounds on the left and right shoulders for outstanding grip
- Improved compound to enhance both the dry and wet grip by adjusting the polymer, changing to a softer shoulder compound, increased the amount of carbon black content by utilizing Carbon R technology and increased oil content
- Optimized tread pattern design to aid in quicker warm-up times and improved wear characteristics
- The Sportmax Q5S is DOT-approved for street-legal use

As a track tire, this one is a total failure.
I'm a control rider with a local track day company. Definitely not the fastest human by any means, but I can hang with almost anyone except expert racers on liter bikes. I've been using Dunlops for years, and the Q3/Q3+ was my go to tire for instruction days and fast track days. They lasted forever and gave great grip right to the cords.
The Q5S is nowhere near as good. at recommended pressures they destroy themselves in 4 15 minute sessions. I ended up going much higher pressures with the second tire I bought (44psi hot!) and the tire lasted about 7 15 minute sessions before almost highsiding me into low earth orbit. Not sure what I'll go with next, but Bridgestone RS11 and S22 have been great, so maybe back to those.

Absolute Garbage DO NOT BUY!
Bought these because I loved my Dunlop Q3+'s
Brand new set of Q5S for 1 light track day in intermediate class. The rear toast. $600 fail.
For comparison I ran my Q3+s for 4 track days and lots of street riding.
