Hey all,

Need new tires for the hawk. $240 was the best I could find. At a local shop no less. Anyone see anything better? My online shopping didn't find anything better than that. Shipping always put it over $240. Thanks

 

I have Sportmax Gp Racer D211 190/55R17 75 W on the CBR 1000 RR and on the VTR 1000 F it coast 169,90 €and i enjoy these tires. I don't know the Q2'S what 's this tire ?

 

if you can get them for 240 local,grab them,that usually unheard of.
the next best place is amazon.com
sometimes free shipping with some places if you order above a certain amount,the deals are out there.

 

Dunlop just had a press event announcing Q3's with carbon fiber technology. They'll be available in June so look for blowout sales on Qualifiers and Q2's.

 

I always shop my *** off for the cheapest tires and that sound like a good price. The q2 btw are actual street tires, where the sportmax 211's are DOT race tires. The 211s really need tire warmers to perform properly. On a streetbike the q2s are a way better choice.

One of the other race instructors has run the q2s on the track & says they are very similar in grip to the 211s, but dont require warmers for an hour to get to that grip.

 

Just translated that Dunlop 211 ad, seems it's 169 euros just for the rear, I'm guessing $200+.

 

$240 for two tires is an excellent price. Plus, you get to support your local shop. For me, if I could find it online for $20 less, I would still buy from the local shop (i.e. difference is less than 10%) to keep it in business

 

Try Cycle Gear. I got a set shipped for $226. That was the best price I could find about 2 months ago.
