235/61/17 GoodYear Slick tyre

Product introduction

GoodYear circuit slick tyre, formerly Dunlop, in size 235/610R17, developed exclusively for competition use on dry tracks. Part of the Slick range, this radial tyre is intended for circuit vehicles seeking a high level of grip, precision and lap-to-lap consistency.

Role of the part

The slick tyre provides the direct link between the vehicle and the track. Its smooth tread maximises the contact patch to optimise traction, braking, stability under cornering loads and cornering speed. The available compounds allow tyre behaviour to be adapted to track conditions, ambient temperature and type of use.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tyre

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or sustained cornering loads.
• Longer braking distances on track.
• Reduced steering precision and feedback.
• Uneven wear that can cause a rapid drop in performance.
• Increased risk of overheating, delamination or loss of consistency over long stints.

Benefits of replacement

• Restores optimal grip on dry tracks.
• Improves vehicle traction and stability in competition conditions.
• Enables more consistent lap times thanks to a suitable compound.
• Optimises chassis behaviour and precision on corner entry, mid-corner and exit.
• Suitable for circuit use, advanced trackdays and motorsport.
