The factory-fit Dunlop Qualifiers on the Gen 3 SVs are total dog-egg. The rear was smooth in the centre - not just beyond the wear indicators, but bald - at 5,000 miles, and the front was done by 8,000. And you'd think that because they wore out so quickly, they might give good grip. Nope. Always felt a bit queasy.

The Avon Storm 3Ds that replaced them are night & day difference - grippy and predictable. And rears lasted at least 10 - 11K miles on my previous K6.
