Dunlop D209 Qualifier
120/70-ZR17
The Qualifier combines the best of Dunlop’s street and track technology to set new standards among sport radial tyres.
The new Qualifier places a significantly larger footprint on the ground than the D208ZR it replaces.
Changes in profile and the additional compliance derived through the Qualifier’s construction help lay down a larger footprint.
The tread grooves are designed to continuously coincide with the forces running through the tyre.
As the curving tread pattern travels across the tyre to the shoulder area, it keeps the driving and braking forces aligned properly as cornering forces come into play.
The tread pattern contains more longitudinal elements in the centre of the tread for enhanced wet-surface grip, and at the same time does not sacrifice any of the D208ZR s excellent dry-surface wear performance.
It is visually distinguishable from the ZR tread pattern by the V-shaped chevrons molded into the tread grooves in the middle portion of the tread.
Additionally, the front tyre features tread elements which are staged at different intervals around the tyre. This variable pitch pattern reduces frequency-generated noise and vibration.Qualifier will respond, giving incredible corner speeds and massive traction for instant drive out of turns.
