Product introduction

The GoodYear Slick Circuit 245/650R18 tyre is a radial competition tyre intended for use exclusively on circuits. Formerly marketed under the Dunlop brand, this slick is designed to offer a high level of grip, precision and consistency during sports driving, track days, private testing or automobile competitions.

Purpose of the part

The slick tyre ensures direct contact between the vehicle and the track. Thanks to its smooth tread, it maximizes the contact surface on the ground in order to optimize traction, braking, support stability and steering precision. The choice of compound makes it possible to adapt the behavior of the tyre to the track conditions, the ambient temperature, the weight of the vehicle and the type of use.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tire

• Perte d’adhérence en accélération, au freinage ou en courbe.
• Extension of braking distances on track.
• Deterioration of driving precision and steering feel.
• Irregular wear which may indicate poor camber, improper pressure or incorrect geometry.
• Overheating of the compound or drop in performance after several thermal cycles.
• Increased risk of loss of control during intensive use.

Benefits of replacement

• Find optimal grip for circuit use.
• Improves traction and stability at high speeds.
• optimises braking and corner entry performance.
• Allows better consistency of times depending on the compound chosen.
• Provides more precise and responsive chassis behavior.
• Suitable for competition or track day vehicles equipped with 18 inches.
