235/61/17 GoodYear Wet Slick Tyre

1. Product introduction

The GoodYear circuit Wet Slick tyre 235/610R17 W3 is a radial competition tyre developed for use on damp or waterlogged tracks. Previously marketed under the Dunlop brand, this GoodYear Wet range is designed to offer high grip, traction and driving precision in rainy conditions.

2. Part function

A circuit wet tyre maintains contact between the vehicle and track when water severely reduces grip. Its specific tread efficiently evacuates water, limits aquaplaning risks and maintains a suitable operating temperature during sporting use. The W3 compound is intended for wet conditions to ensure optimal grip during braking, acceleration and cornering.

3. Symptoms or consequences of a worn or faulty part

• Loss of grip on damp tracks.
• Longer braking distances.
• Reduced traction on corner exit.
• Increased aquaplaning risk.
• Unstable vehicle handling under cornering loads.
• Uneven wear that may impair performance and safety.

4. Benefits of replacement

• Improved grip on wet tracks.
• Better water evacuation thanks to the competition wet tread.
• More precise and reassuring handling in difficult conditions.
• Optimised performance during circuit driving in rain.
• Reduced risk of sudden loss of grip and aquaplaning.
• Product suited to the demands of motorsport and track days.
