Go to Dynamic Cycles. I bought a pair last week. Cheapest around in GTA. very nice people and they will deliver it to your door the next day for $19.

To give you an idea, a paid of Michelin Pilot Power 3, tax in and delivered to my door in one day was $348

And no i dont work there lol
I order from Pete's Superbike and usually have them shipped to my tire installer (Kneedragger Ken or Clarington Cycle). I'm not riding over to Markham for a set of tires. BTW, Q3's are an excellent sticky tire choice with good wear-life.

It depends on your use. Here are 2 reviews on Pilot Power 3s and Q3s.
Q3s wear out faster and they have less grip on rain from what i hear. If you do mostly street, id stick with Pilot Powers but if you do a lot of track days, go with Q3s.
ive never owned Q3s, just going based on people who have owned both and also Revzilla reviews.

what a lot of people fail to realize when researching tires especially online is that majority of the reviews are from US, especially on sites like Revzilla and Sportbike Trackgear. Their day to day weather conditions are drastically different from what we have up here. Here we haven't even hit consistent temperatures of +10 whereas many places in the states have been +25. Take that into consideration when you're reading all these reviews that say they're super sticky.
Its a whole lot different when you're here leaving work and the weather is hovering around 10 degrees and tires are cold after the sun has gone down compared to somewhere where its been consistently hot all day.

Thanks guys.
I ended up getting the Q3's from Petes. I'll phone Ken about getting them installed.
This bike Is primarily for hot sunny days and track days so hopefully it's a good choice at a better price point that the Diablo Rosso Corsa that are currently on. I'll post a review once I have a track day.

Good choice. Maybe I'll see you at the track this season. Cheers
