ROAD PRODUCTS FOR ROAD AND TRACK Spring is upon us, as is track-day season, so let us introduce the Sportmax Q4. This new no-compromise street-legal track-day tyre from Dunlop boasts more land area and fewer tread grooves, which equates to a massive footprint, especially during maximum lean. Borrowing technology from Dunlop’s involvement in the MotoAmerica superbike series, it delivers race-like grip and feedback, and will run on the track at close to street pressures, minimising chassis adjustment needs and making it also user-friendly as a street tyre.
