Latest Dunlop Sportmax Q LITE Reviews

Given 73% while driving a Suzuki GS500F (130/70 R17) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
Had both them on a Suzuki GS500E, a 110 and a 130 on the back. They're great tires, they provide excellent grip in corners, and wet traction is also confidence inspiring. In terms of feedback, super clear when you are approaching the limit, you get a feel on how the tire is behaving under you, and behaviour over the limit is pretty manageable.

About durability, if you plan doing many highway kilometres, your rear tire is going to get flat fast, front tire still is okay for 11000 KMs, but at the rear is too far gone ride anywhere.

Personally, I would buy it again, very forgiving tire, good grip at all-weather, albeit a short life span. (Keep in mind a GS500E is close to 180Kg wet, so a lighter bike might get a bit more life out of it)
