185/58/15 GoodYear Slick tyre

Product introduction

GoodYear circuit slick tyre, formerly Dunlop, in size 185/580R15, designed for intensive use on the track and in motor racing. This radial tyre from the Slick range is intended for circuit vehicles looking for a high level of grip, precision and consistency on the lap.

Purpose of the part

The slick tyre ensures direct contact between the vehicle and the track. Its smooth tread maximizes the contact surface on the ground to provide optimal traction, powerful braking and excellent support stability. On a dry circuit, it allows you to fully exploit the potential of the chassis, braking and transmission.

Signs or consequences of a worn or defective tyre

• Loss of grip during acceleration, braking, or cornering
• Longer braking distances
• Unstable behavior during support or go-around phase
• Irregular degradation of the compound linked to unsuitable geometry or pressure
• Decrease in performance and consistency over several laps
• Increased risk of overheating, delamination or loss of control under heavy use

Benefits of replacement

• Restores optimum dry-track grip
• Improves steering precision and vehicle stability
• Promotes more efficient and consistent braking
• Allows better use of the chassis and suspension settings
• Available in several compounds to adapt behavior to track conditions
• Ideal for competition vehicles, trackdays and circuit events
