205/62/17 GoodYear wet racing tyre

Product introduction

The GoodYear 205/620R17 W3 wet racing tyre is a radial competition tyre specially designed for circuit use in damp or soaking wet conditions. Formerly sold under the Dunlop brand, this wet tyre is intended for racing vehicles, track cars and modified cars seeking high grip, precision and safety on wet tracks.

Role of the part

The wet tyre provides direct contact between the vehicle and the track when water severely reduces grip. Its specific W3 compound and suitable tread pattern disperse water, limit loss of traction and improve vehicle control under braking, cornering loads and acceleration. It plays an essential role in performance, stability and consistent driving on wet circuits.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tyre

• Significant loss of grip on damp or soaking wet tracks.
• Longer braking distances.
• Increased risk of aquaplaning in standing water.
• Lack of traction on corner exit.
• Reduced steering precision and feedback through the wheel.
• Uneven wear that can reduce performance and safety during driving.

Benefits of replacement

• Restores optimum grip in rainy conditions on circuits.
• Improves vehicle stability under braking and on turn-in.
• Promotes better water dispersal to maintain grip.
• Allows more effective use of the chassis and suspension settings.
• Offers a precise, progressive response for sports driving.
• Ideal solution for circuit days, private tests, competitions and driving in the rain.
