EDU wrote:I'm sorry but I can't agree with that. Yes, you can use a Q3 on the track but that hardly makes it track focused. It's a great road tire but you'd be mad to try and beat any PB with it when compared to anything decent... and even in the Dunlop's own product line you have at least 3-4 other tires that are better than the Q3 on the track. Probably more as they have a ton of variations too.
Mind you, I'm not saying the Q3s are bad... I'm saying their rubber compound is A LOT more focused on longevity than laptime when compared to a proper race tire. So if you're not happy with 2 days from the Q3, going to a more track focused tire will not improve longevity.
Sure, you can go to the superbike pros as Jonnymac suggested if want something that will last long... but I'm of the opinion that track riding means trying to improve your riding and lower your PBs in which case unfortunately the Pros are not very helpful.
