The fifth generation Dunlop Sportmax Q5S sets the new benchmark for the ultimate street and track-day tire. Following in the development footsteps of the Q5, the Q5S has achieved even higher performance by utilizing aspects from Dunlop's cutting-edge road race tires developed in Buffalo, NY and used in the MotoAmerica Road Race Series. With an enhanced construction, profile, compound and tread pattern, the Q5S provides lighter,nimbler handling, with improved dry and wet grip to make it even more user-friendly, all while maintaining class-leading durability.
