205/62/17 GoodYear Slick tyre

GoodYear 205/620R17 TC circuit slick tyre

The GoodYear 205/620R17 TC circuit slick tyre, previously marketed under the Dunlop brand, is designed for intensive track use in competition, trackdays or performance driving. Developed to deliver high grip on dry surfaces, this radial slick tyre is intended for sports vehicles, modified touring cars and circuit cars fitted with 17-inch wheels.

Role of the part

The slick tyre provides the direct link between the vehicle and the track. Its treadless surface maximises the contact patch to improve traction, lateral grip, braking stability and line precision. Compound choice allows tyre behaviour to be adapted to track conditions, temperature and type of use.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or faulty tyre

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering loads
• Longer braking distances on track
• Reduced steering precision and steering feel
• Uneven wear caused by camber, pressure or operating temperature
• Increased risk of overheating, compound degradation or loss of performance
• Unstable handling during rapid changes in cornering load

Benefits of replacement

• Restores optimal grip on dry circuits
• Better traction on corner exit
• More stable and effective braking
• More precise and consistent handling over stints
• Choice of B3 Medium or C3 Hard compound according to operating conditions
• Tyre suited to track vehicles seeking performance, consistency and efficiency
