Dunlop Sportmax Q5S Rear Motorcycle Tire 190/55ZR17 M/C (75W) TL - dUN45258208

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.

• MT Multi-tread technology uses silica-infused, long-wearing compound in the center of the tread for increased life, with special lateral grip compounds on the shoulders for maximum grip
• Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) allows for taller tire profile along with tapered sides for a more aggressive turn-tin response and feel
• Front tire profile and construction allows for a 7mm shorter tire, resulting in lighter steering feel and quicker turn-in rate
• Improved polymer compound and softer shoulder performs in both wet and dry conditions
• Optimized tread pattern aids in quick warm-up times and improved wear
• D.O.T.-approved

The Dunlop Sportmax Q5S rear motorcycle tire is engineered for riders who demand confident street performance and track-day capability. Developed using technology influenced by Dunlop road race tires used in the MotoAmerica Road Race Series, the fifth-generation Q5S combines responsive handling, strong dry and wet grip, and dependable wear characteristics in a user-friendly sport tire.

Its MT Multi-Tread construction places a silica-infused, long-wearing compound in the center of the tread while using specialized lateral compounds on the shoulders for enhanced cornering grip. Dunlop’s Intuitive Response Profile helps deliver quicker turn-in and a more aggressive steering feel, while the optimized tread pattern promotes rapid warm-up and consistent wear. The improved polymer compound and softer shoulder are designed to maintain traction across changing road conditions.

This Dunlop Sportmax Q5S uses a radial, directional, tubeless design for the rear wheel and features a black sidewall. It carries a 75 load index with a W speed rating, designated as (75W), and is D.O.T.-approved for road use. The tire is intended for compatible sport and sport-touring motorcycles requiring a 190/55ZR17 rear fitment.
