• The Qualifier offers true racetrack-level grip and performance for the street.
• Rear-tire compound blends three race-developed polymers to maximize grip and warm up quickly in the wet or the dry.
• Race-derived front-tire profile promotes quicker turn-in and lighter steering while also contributing to a larger footprint at maximum lean angles.
• Advanced belt design and Jointless Band (JLB) construction reduce unsprung weight for quicker acceleration and enhanced steering characteristics.
• Next-generation cosecant-curve tread pattern allows the driving and braking forces to remain aligned properly under cornering conditions.
• New 190/55ZR17 to fit Kawasaki ZX-10R.

     “Overall traction was excellent, at all lean angles. This tire felt like it was putting down a big footprint, and feedback was superb, communicating what was happening at the contact patch at all times.” —Sport Rider Street Tire Test
     “Awesome, predictable traction with great stability.” —Sport Rider Street Tire Test
     “The Qualifiers scored the highest average marks in all categories, and the highest SR Rating in the test.” —Sport Rider Street Tire Test
    “The new (front) profile allows for easier turn-in, yet it doesn’t give up anything on stability—either with straight line or trail braking.” —Cycle News
     “…the new front was magic, allowing the bike to flick from side to side easier—and providing better feel and input the entire time.” —Cycle News
     “The rear Qualifier has better side grip and better traction, which translates to a drop in lap times. What else do you want?” —Cycle News
