Dunlop Sportmax Q5S tire features and benefits:
* Both front and rear tires utilize Dunlop's proprietary Racing Type Fine Carbon Technology in the tread compound
* Multi-tread—two compounds in the same tread give riders great mileage without sacrificing handling
* The front tire profile and construction were changed to allow for a 7mm shorter tire—this shorter profile creates a lighter steering feel and quicker turn-in rate to allow for a nimble handling tire
* Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) technology allows for a taller tire profile along with sides that taper in more aggressively for remarkable turn-in response and feel
* MT Multi-Tread technology in the Q5S 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 right shoulders for outstanding grip
* Improved compound to enhance both the dry and wet grip by adjusting the polymer, changing to a softer shoulder compound, increased the amount of carbon black content by utilizing Carbon R technology and increased oil content
* Optimized tread pattern design to aid in quicker warm-up times and improved wear characteristics
* The Sportmax Q5S is DOT-approved for street-legal use
