Dunlop Sportmax Q5A Front Motorcycle Tire 120/70ZR17 (58W) Street Sport Tubeless Radial

OVERVIEW

The Dunlop Sportmax Q5A is a front motorcycle tire engineered to deliver consistent road grip and predictable steering feedback on paved surfaces. Built with a reinforced rubber compound and radial carcass, this tubeless unit mounts directly to qualifying street motorcycles, replacing aging tread without modifying factory rim profiles.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

A Jointless Belt architecture tightly controls sidewall flex while suppressing dynamic expansion during hard acceleration and firm braking. The proprietary tread compound blends Carbon R polymers with High Silica X materials, maintaining bite across damp asphalt and extended dry stretches. Full tubeless valve preparation removes internal liners, eliminating pinch-flat susceptibility and allowing quick pressure adjustments that stabilize high-speed cruising.
