Dunlop qualifiers done me wrong

After destroying the 208 I went to the dealer and got the new qualifier since 208 is discontinued.

Shortly after breaking it in, I went to a parking lot to test it out. The tire grabs like GLUE even when its cold it doesnt jerk at all, which is all great.

BUT when I tried decided to do roll on burn outs, guess what? It wasn't happenin. TOO MUCH traction. Front brake lever all the in, front tire locked it kept pushing the bike forward. I used to be able to do highway burnouts at 60 MPH but not no more.

I didnt think I'd ever complain about too much traction but this fkn sucks. I liked doin roll on burnouts.

BTW trie pressure is at 35 psi.

Re: Dunlop qualifiers done me wrong

Yeah but it still can be done.....I mean look at Darius. He uses the Quali and he does some sick *** burnouts. Just get a good front tire...like another quali.

Hell, if I can do crazy larry's, and little drifts, you should be able to re-learn yor burnout stuff

Re: Dunlop qualifiers done me wrong

The Qualifier Is Alot Harder To Drift On, But I Never Have Problems Busting Out Burnouts. Id Rather Have The Traction For Low And Wide Circles Then Be Able To Drift.

Re: Dunlop qualifiers done me wrong

Well if your just looking for burnouts, get a Michelin Pilot Road or somthing similar. You would want a sport mileage tire.

Re: Dunlop qualifiers done me wrong

30 heat cycles and the tire should harden and be alittle easier to work with

?? PILOT POWERS ARE SLICKER THAN A MINNOWS DIKC, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIFT INTO THE NEXT CITY ON THOSE THINGS. I HAD ONE FOR A WHILE AND THEN I THREW IT IN THE SCRAP PILE, THEY SUKC FOR TRACTION.
