That is what causes the cuts in Fastguys pics, I had the same issue with my 211's and it didn't affect performance at all. The cracks in Turbos pic are totally different almost looks like a dry rot crack in the tread.BigBird;189355 wrote: hey turbo, this is your answer

32/32 is cold. If you are wanting to use warmers on Q2 you really need to look at stepping up and get race tires.G2G;187137 wrote: It does not state the 32 32 is a hot pressure. If you don't know call. Steve B will tell you himself.
Yep, its a legit question.JRA;189270 wrote: Your post isn't inflammatory in any way. It's a legitimate question and I'm sure RTS will post an answer for you.
Sorry BigBird, that is not the same issue. as the quote you noted.BigBird;189355 wrote: hey turbo, this is your answer

I was worried but now I feel a little better.
Not for nothing, when I was riding the tire over the Summit Pt weekend, I didn't notice anything strange like vibration or chatter coming from the rear. The tire felt great. I was just surprised to see this when I popped the tires off to change them.
What you are seeing is the TREAD SPLICE becoming exposed. This is not the construction of the tire at all. It only the tread rubber that is placed over the carcass when they build the tires. There was an occasional issue with this becoming visible. It was amplified by riders that flipped the tire and ran it in reverse rotation.Fastguy;187286 wrote: Well I have a question that Ive posted and asked a couple of times before but have not gotten a reasonable explaination.
The Q2 rear seems to "separate" (for a lack of a better term) in the tread area. One explaination that Ive heard was that it was from flipping the rear.
I currently have a rear that I have not flipped thats beginning to "separate".
Other riders have indicated that they too have had this issue happen. I dont think that I can run over something with different sets of rears.
D211GPA 190/55x17 is 4 mm diameter bigger than the 190/55 Q2. Which is 2mm in ride height. Nothing to be overly concerned about. Take into consideration your setup is not going to be 100% at this moment anyway.noobinacan;199423 wrote: sorry if this is a repeat question
are Q2'a 190/55's same height profile as GPA211 190/55's ?
in terms of height, I think I last heard, Q2's 190/55 won't require any rear height adjustments.
thanks
k thanks for the info.DUNLOP-RTS;199572 wrote: D211GPA 190/55x17 is 4 mm diameter bigger than the 190/55 Q2. Which is 2mm in ride height. Nothing to be overly concerned about. Take into consideration your setup is not going to be 100% at this moment anyway.
I wouldn't run those in mid summer on A pace.Cliff#11;200715 wrote: Anyone have any experience with these on a liter bike ? Specifically should they be ran at an "A" pace on a liter bike in the middle of summer on let's say.. VIR Full?
