I only know the Q2s but I liked them.

Re: Q2 or s20?
I only know the q2 and you can not beat them for price and stickiness! I think you would be very hard pressed to find another tire in that price range that can outperform.

Re: Q2 or s20?
Q3... same price as the Q2 but supposed to be better in just about every way .... expecially in the rain.

Re: Q2 or s20?
Sorry for the mispost......
Anywho. Once I van squeeze back into the polar bear suit, I'll be primarily just doing track days so rain isn't much of an issue

Re: Q2 or s20?
S20's, I found them to be excellent in the rain, decent in the dry. But, they don't last long on my bike.

Maybe you shouldn't be so hard on the throttle then

Re: Q2 or s20?
Why would anyone buy Q2 when Q3 is one dollar more per tire.

Re: Q2 or s20?
I fully understand where you're coming from and will probably go that route in a few months, but I'd like to hear some reviews first.
Who knows what kind of feedback these will give. While I do think the q2 do give some good feedback the q3 may not do so well. Plus they may not last as long. There is more questions I want answered first

Re: Q2 or s20?
Well I just ordered the Q3's and should have them the 25th. I plan to have them on the next day or so.... I might get a day of riding in before the track day so I will let you know after the 29th.

Re: Q2 or s20?
I prefer the Pirelli Diablo Corsas, or the Bridgestone BT016 Ultra Hypersport Pros (not the regular BT016's). The price is not much diffrent than the rest of the Street/Trackday tires.

The Pirelli Diablo Rossa Corsas are amazing!...on the track...not so good on gravel.
