Man, that's a great deal for a great tire.

Seen any Q2s out there for a that price? I need to stock up for next year.

I'm not sure how "good" of a deal that is.

Q2's in my cart on BikeBandit right now with 10% off discount are $221.34 ~$40 difference.

I guess I'm not following you, how is $188 for a pair of super sport tires not a great deal? 016 are in the same category as Q2's.

They may be in the same category as Q2 but standard pricing is way more than they should be. If this was standard price it would make sense but as I said the Q2's are only $40 more so it's not like an incredible STEAL unless you are specifically looking for these tires.

And you know this because of the many sets of tires you have installed or the many web pages you've looked at....

I am talking about specifically someone comparing the Q2's to these. If they are in the same "category" they should round about be around the same price. The 016's MSRP is more than twice the price of the Q2's. The sale is great if you are looking for these specific tires, but as far as the same "category" there are comparable cheaper tires.

Just trying to understand how a set of supersport super sticky tires at $188 shipped isn't a great deal? Any set of tires that cheap would be a bargain. These skins would stick like glue. Not seeing how you could possibly go wrong here

I have had 016 Pro's, and Q2'S....one my my bikes is wearing Q2's now!

These tyres are very similar tyres, both gith incredible levels of grip and feedback for a road based tyre...

Quick heads up...i paid $500AU for a set of 016's earlier this year, and $530AU for a set of Q2's this year... :eek:

Am guessing the 016's are such a good price, cause they have been superseded by the 016 Pro's....same tyre, just a little bit longer life,...

FYI: Tires in the add posted are the Pros had the sales folks double tripple check the ####'s

By the time the dust settles the promo will end. . .

I'm just sayin, if this tire and price suit your needs, but it now. . . :popcorn:

BikeBandit
120/70 $107.59
180/55 $138.34

$245.93

$57.93 more for a set of Q2's

The MSRP lon the 016's are $420.98 from Bridgestone BT-016 Front and Rear Tire Package 1 - Chaparral Motorsports

That's how I came out with the price.

BikeBandit on the 016's

120/70 95.57
180/55 115.94

$211

Even at $211 still a good price :) I guess it just seemed like it was more than it shoulda been, good deal I s'pose ;)
