Of the few people I can recall as of right now who have used off-the-shelf qualifiers, the only "complaint" I've heard is the brusque turn-in from the triangular shape of the tyres (which for some is a plus, others a minus). Other than that I have heard positive comments with regard to grip and predictability.

If you can deal with the turn-in, I'm sure you'll like them. Make sure to share your thoughts on the boards

That pretty much echoes my experience so far. On my old 99 ZX6R the off the shelf Q's were nice. I think their geometry really helped the turn in on the heavier, bulkier ride, and grip was never an issue.

The OEM spec tire on our ZX10's? Not so great. If this had been my first experience with Dunlops I would have sworn off the brand all together.
