For the past two years, everything ive read, and any vendor i have bought from or just asked has said the same line...
"the Q3+s will ONLY last you about 5000 miles on a Concours 14..." as if they were reading from a script or something.
well, as the saying goes, your personal results MAY vary...
Since my 09 C14 and my 07 ZX10r trackbike both run on 190/50 (or 55) rears, i decided to try something...buying two sets of Q3+s front/rear, one for the C14, and the other for the ZX for the track this year...and swap them out next spring for whatever i get for next season. That way i have a set of Q3+s with only about 500 miles on them to go from the supersport over to the connie...tires for the next year or two or more i thought...
well...the Q3+s that ive ridden on this summer are just fine...stick better than anything any sport tourer will need, super smooth, great feedback, and after 5500 miles of riding everyday, commuting, fun runs, sunday morning runs, etc, these things arent squaring off, look barely worn, and should last me well into next season. And yes, i still have about half an inch of 'chicken' strips on each side as well...its whatever, im not dragging any knees on the street.
So dont let anybody tell you you can ONLY do thus and so...
...how about DEM apples?!?!?! :nananana:
