Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ Rear Tyre 160/60 ZR-17 69W Tubeless

Dunlop Q3+ Plus Sportmax Tires

The groundbreaking Dunlop Q3+ boasts exciting refinements and improvements over the highly celebrated Q3, which has earned a reputation as one of the very best high performance track / street tires available - and quite possibly THE best in terms of performance per dollar.

In the "Plus" iteration of the Q3 - the only hypersport tire made in the U.S.A - Dunlop is touting an 80% redesign, with only the best features and the confidence inspiring character remaining untouched from the previous Q3.

Major updates come via new tech and a new center compound in the rear MT Multitread tire - resulting in both higher mileage and improved cornering performance. The Q3+ retains the corner-crushing CFT "Carbon Fiber Technology" sidewall reinforcement pioneered in the Q3 and features a very similar, steep, aggressive tread pattern.

The major trick up Dunlop's sleeve for the Q3+ is especially exciting for riders looking to level up at the track - the Q3 Plus marks the inception of Intuitive Response Profile™ (IRP) technology in the Q3+ rear tire, allowing for greater latitude in choosing a new line mid-corner, while also providing remarkably linear, predictable steering. That means a wider margin for error so you can push yourself and your bike to new limits at the track.

Features

• The all-new Q3+ offers superb grip, stability, steering feel and longevity on the street and on the track.
• Dunlop's Carbon Fiber Technology (CFT) employed in the Q3+ uses carbon fiber reinforcement in the tire sidewalls for exceptional cornering performance and feel. Aggressive Q3+ tread pattern uses minimal tread grooves that are long in length to enhance wet-weather performance
• Intuitive Response Profile™ (IRP) technology in the Q3+ rear tire allows greater latitude in line choice while cornering, plus amazingly linear steering.
• MT Multi-Tread Dunlop's "Multi-Tread" technology is synonymous with classic dual compound (or even triple compound) tire construction. Typically a harder rubber compound is used on and around the centerline of the tire's tread to resist wear from acceleration, braking, payload and general mileage. This part of the tire receives the vast majority of contact time with the road. Farther out from the tire's centerline Dunlop will used softer compounds for improved grip at higher lean angles.™ technology in the Q3+ 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 ride shoulders for outstanding grip.
• Only hypersport tire made in the U.S.A., the Q3+ was designed at Dunlop's Buffalo, NY headquarters, and manufactured in the Buffalo plant on the same high-tech production equipment as Dunlop's racing tires.
• Dunlop's Huntsville Proving Grounds is the only motorcycle tire test facility of its kind in North America, and the Q3+ was tested extensively at Dunlop's Huntsville Proving Grounds as well as several racetracks in the U.S.
