I spoke to a man on the Dunlop stand at the NEC show. He stated that the new Qualifier tyre is a straight replacement for the D208 road tyre.
My husband, who runs D208RR's on his road bike was told he'd be best off sticking with them ('scuse the pun)

So not as good (for the track) as a 208/209GP Andy....

In the dry Dunlop D208RR's are my fave, but I've not used them in the wet. Standard D208's are very good in the dry as well and last longer but they are one of the worst tyres ever in the wet.
207RR's are my favourite wet weather tyre and somewhere between the D208 standard tyre and the 208RR in the dry. They don't last as long as either of the 208 models.
