I'm really struggling with this.  I want to get all the value out of my current 2CT's, but I want track time on the Q2's too.  

I am really leaning on changing the tires out Monday night so that I would have one last "track day" on the 2CT's and then one on the Q2's.  Of course I would be gentle, etc, to scrub them in, but I just dont think those 2CT's are ready to be replaced yet..  Undecided

Well I was looking at my back and it is still in good shape. My front is still good too but barely. I don't like the way it wears so I am excited to change them.

I want to do it early, so they will scrub in plenty of time.

The last trackday I was supposed to buy new tires cause my current Q2's already had gone through a lot. (2 trackdays and about 2000 street miles) But I ended up using them again on Feb. 14th and they were fine. Josh if I were you I would probably get on more out of your pp's if you say they are still pretty good. Or, mount the q2's for the track, then take them off and put the pp's back on for the street.

You can find stuff like this all over the place but since this is a the official Q2 thread, thought I'd post some stuff so you can guys get all excited lol...

To put this in perspective and give to an example of how good the Q2’s overall racetrack ability is: This is the first and only street-bred tire I’ve ever used which I could safely and happily conduct a track-only shootout on – without question. In fact, there's a good chance I will do exactly that for an upcoming test, as they not only have the grip needed but will last far longer than a race tire..

Longer racetrack life? (Yep, you guessed it) Check.

I’m continually amazed by how much grip, stability and control engineers are able to extract from the little rubber doughnuts we ride on while still making them strong enough for every-day street abuse. It’s utterly awesome to think of what they will be capable of in 10 or 20 years time – who knows; maybe we’ll need full-body sliders. But as for now, there’s no doubt Dunlop has set a new standard for street-based sportbike tires with the Sportmax Q2. The outright performance really is simply staggering! Maybe they should have just named it the Dunlop Sportmax Benchmark?
