If he wasn't such a good guy it would probably piss me off HAHAHA!!! Seriously though, he is speaking from first hand experience.

My experience/observation with Dunlop v Pirelli is similar to HondaGal's assessment. I loved my Pirelli when I had my first bike (12yrs ago). They warmed up quickly and had handling to suit my turn-in style. The Q2s were slippery and, more than once, I went down during warmup (my fault for treating them like Pirelli's). Now I'm running Q3s on my new street bike and have no issues with them on the track. Of course, I wonder if I run Pirellis again...yokel84;298771 wrote: That makes sense, but it's not just here. The journalists seem to have been sleeping on the DRCs too, outside of the initially quite positive reviews:

When they did a tire shootout, they put the Q2s up against the regular Rossos, if I recall.
Anyways, I'm sure it's true that whatever tire you get used to is the one that'll work for you the best. Everyone raves about the Q3s. I could get used to the quicker turning, but I'm afraid of the slippery-when-cold nature of Dunlops I've ridden. The Pirellis warm up in like two corners.
Also, I got five trackdays out of a set and they seem like they could do four more. That's probably just because I'm slow. I'd be interested in hearing what happens when you start going fast on them HondaGal
