Dunlop Qualifier Core

Rode them half season on 2022 MT09, after second set of stock S22 got worn in 3000 miles.
After the tyre specialist said they’ve gotten something new and consulting the Dunlop website, I decided to give them a shot.

Decent grip, especially in the dry, but significantly worse braking performance.
Wear is ok, better than classic hypersport tyre, but worse than a full blown sport touring.

Slow to turn in and numbs the handlebar sensation, increases the force needed to lean.
The tire is heavy and deformable on acceleration.

Considering the price, it is better than a worn tyre, but not great.
Better suited for lower torque or a bit older bike.


In the end, might go with a sporty sport touring tyre, that is not worse in handling and braking but last longer.

First test after installing on my bike. Very quick warming. Otside tepm was 20 degree C, the road was dry but with a lot of dust and sand. Good road feedback. The perfect budget canyon tire.
